Angela Lee has long been one of the biggest female prospects in MMA. The young prodigy however ran into some bad luck – though luckily she is not majorly injured.
According to Evolve MMA owner Chatri Sityodtong, Angela was driving to her morning training, but fell asleep at the wheel. She got into an accident and her car flipped over five to six times.
Lee’s father, Ken Lee, said “it’s truly a miracle that she survived” in a statement provided to KHON:
“My daughter was in a very serious accident yesterday. It is truly a miracle that she survived. We are so blessed that God laid his hand of protection over her.
“Angela’s car hit a guardrail on the highway. The axle snapped and the car flipped 5-6 times over 100 yards and landed on the opposite side of the highway, according to the police.
“Our family would like to thank everyone for your sincere thoughts and prayers. Angela is now at home recovering and will be okay.”
Lee (8-0) was scheduled to rematch Mei Yamaguchi(16-10-1) at “ONE Championship 65: Immortal Pursuit” on Nov. 24 in Singapore.
Match is likely to be rescheduled for a later date. We wish Lee a speedy recovery.
