More updates to come.”<\/p>\n In the video, a car turning right out of a parking lot veers into Davis-Woodhall’s lane and hits her car almost head-on, crumpling the front of both cars and deploying the airbags.<\/p>\n The American guessed that both cars were going about 20 miles per hour, with Davis-Woodhall able to walk away from the crash that left both cars written off.<\/p>\n “I’m lucky and blessed to be alive right now,” Davis-Woodhall said, showing off bruises on her arms. “I don’t know where my head’s at now. Just taking it day by day.”<\/p>\n Image: Davis-Woodhall has yet to return to practice ahead of next week’s Ultimate World Championship, in Budapest from September 11-13, where athletes will compete for $150,000 (\u00a3112,000) first prizes.<\/p>\n “I’m physically OK,” Davis-Woodhall said. “Mentally, something’s going on in there. It’s really unfortunate timing.”<\/p>\n She added: “I went through something unfortunate,” she said. “Now I’m trying to figure out what I can do to get myself back on the horse.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olympic and world champion long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall said she is \u2018lucky to be alive\u2019 after being involved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-613016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
