Nagpapagaling na ngayon ang beauty queen-actress na si Maria Isabel Lopez matapos makaligtas sa car crash sa California, USA.
Inilahad ni Isabel ang kinasangkutang aksidente sa panayam niya sa ABS-CBN News na lumabas ngayong Martes, April 28, 2026.
Lahad niya: "I was driving home on Gravenstein highway corner Hessel Road in Sebastopol, California. I was 5 minutes away when we had a head-on collision with a car on the opposite lane.
"Things happened so fast. My iPhone said 'This is an emergency'. My airbag burst!
"Side window airbags too. The door couldn’t be opened from inside. Ambulance came and I was brought to Kaiser Santa Rosa."
Nakita raw sa CT scan na may pumutok sa kanyang bituka kaya agad siyang inoperahan.
Labintatlong araw siyang nanatili sa ospital, at ngayon ay nakauwi na sa bahay at nagpapagaling .
"Doctors removed 70cm of my intestines. Days after nagkaroon ako ng inflammation. Saw an abscess in my abdomen so I had another procedure to 'aspirate' it. Stayed 13 days in the hospital. Now I’m back home with a wound vacuum in my abdomen to speed the healing process."
