I have given this some thought and think that the advice to ignore her is probably the best.
I see no problem with asking the Police if a car is allowed in the cycle lane and what they think of someone who swerved into it as you got nearer. To me this is driving without due care and attention. She cannot say she did not see you as that is not a defence unless it was night time and you had not lights etc.
This is a classic case of having your mobile phone and taking a photo of the location of her vehicle at the time of collision. If you had done this, I believe from my long ago legal studies that she would not have a leg to stand on.
The other cardinal rule when involved in an accident is never admit anything. I would not apologise but do ask if the other driver and passengers are OK. It WILL go against you if you end up in a court and you have not shown due care to the other party/s involved.
Best regards
Chris
