Overview

American long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall was involved in a head-on car collision while driving to a training session. Although she stated she was “lucky and blessed to be alive” and did not sustain life-threatening injuries, the accident resulted in a severe concussion and the total loss of both vehicles.
