The law student who dodged death when she fell into the path of an oncoming subway train last month appeared to be on the mend Tuesday.

Rikke Bukh, 22, was spotted leaving her Williamsburg home as she dashed off to a doctor’s appointment with her mother in a livery car.

The young girl’s mother, Anette Bukh, carried her crutches for Rikke Bukh as she hobbled to the waiting car with a medical boot on her right foot and an apparatus over her midsection.

Bukh, a Denmark native who graduated from the University of Florida last year and moved to Brooklyn in July, found herself living every straphanger’s worst nightmare when she passed out and plunged onto the subway tracks as a train was arriving.

The Manhattan-bound L train narrowly missed Bukh on Jan. 11 at the Bedford Avenue station.

Rikke miraculously landed between the deadly third rail and the platform wall and survived.

She suffered a broken ankle and broken vertebrae, family members said.

Rikke’s father, Per Bukh, previously called his daughter “very lucky.”
