Heather Quiggle, 42, of Johns Creek, was booked in the Fulton County Jail on Dec. 10 on numerous charges, including hit and run resulting in serious injury.
Jail records show that she was released Wednesday morning on a $16,320 bond. She’s scheduled to be back in court next month. As of Wednesday evening, it was still unclear if she had retained a lawyer.
It happened around 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. Investigators say Quiggle drove her 2018 Chevrolet Silverado the wrong way on Interstate 85 northbound exit lane at North Central Avenue in Hapeville and collided with a 2000 GMC Sierra. The collision sent the other driver to the hospital with a serious leg injury, police said.
Investigators credited a witness at the scene for helping them identify Quiggle. They also ran her tag and confirmed that she was the registered owner. Police tried to reach her, but they were unable because she had left her phone behind when she fled from the scene, investigators said.

A quick search of her social media pages shows that she is a realtor with Keller Williams Realty. On Wednesday, Channel 2 Action News reached out to her via phone, email and text, hoping to get her side of the story.
Channel 2′s Michael Seiden also stopped by her home, where she slammed the door in his face after learning he was a reporter.
In 2022, Quiggle’s friends, family and colleagues raised more than $15,000 to help with her medical bills after she was the victim of a violent attack inside her Johns Creek home.
Less than a week before Christmas, Quiggle was shot six times by an ex-boyfriend while she slept in her bed on Plantation Bridge Drive.
She and her boyfriend, who was shot three times, survived the attack. Her son managed to escape the house unharmed.
Quiggle was shot by her ex-boyfriend Abdul Batin Rashid. Rashid fled from the scene before he was found dead the next day in Sandy Springs from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, investigators said.
