Angela Lee injured after falling asleep while driving her Audi in Hawaii: Car flipped "5 to 6 times"

MMA champion Angela Lee was involved in a serious car accident yesterday (Nov 7) after falling asleep behind the wheel while on her way to morning training in Oahu, Hawaii.

ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong posted a statement on Lee's condition in a Facebook post.

According to the police, her car flipped over five to six times.

"She was driving to her morning training at the gym when she fell asleep," wrote Sityodtong.

"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."

Rob DeMello of  KHON News in Oahu tweeted an image of Lee's damaged Audi.
