ONE owner Chatri Sityodtong provided further details on his social network.
“ONE Atomweight World Champion Angela Lee got into a terrible car accident yesterday with her car flipping over 5-6x according to the police,” he wrote. “She was driving to her morning training at the gym when she fell asleep. Miraculously, she survived with only a concussion, some minor burns, and a banged-up body.
“If she was not wearing a seatbelt, it would have most certainly been a different story. I saw photos of the damaged car, and it was a complete wreck.
“Angela will not be competing on November 24. We are all blessed and relieved that Angela is expected to make a full recovery. It is a reminder for all of us that life is so fragile and that we must treasure our loved ones every day. Please join me in sending love, prayers, and positive energy to Angela and her family.”
The undefeated Lee has defended her title twice so far. The UnderGround joins Chatri in appreciating the lesson in the inherent fragility of life, wishes ‘Unstoppable’ and fast, full recovery, and trusts she gets back to thrilling the fans as soon as possible.
