Indian golfer Diksha Dagar, who is set to represent her country at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, was involved in a car accident on Tuesday night. However, despite the incident, Dagar is reportedly doing well and is expected to compete in her event as scheduled.
According to Dagar's father and caddie, Colonel Naren Dagar, Diksha sustained no major injuries and is currently practicing for the Olympics. However, her mother has been hospitalized with a suspected spinal injury and will remain under observation for the next few days. The extent of her injuries will be determined after further tests and diagnosis.
The accident occurred when the Dagar family's car was struck by another vehicle while returning from a function at India House. The family's driver was reportedly crossing an intersection when the light turned red, and an ambulance parked on the side obscured their view of an oncoming car. The other vehicle collided with the Dagar family's car from the side.
This is Diksha Dagar's second Olympic appearance, and she is scheduled to compete in the women's golf tournament from August 7 to 10. The men's golf competition, featuring Indian golfers Shubhankar Sharma and Gaganjeet Bhullar, commenced on Thursday.
Despite the setback, Diksha Dagar remains determined to perform well at the Olympics. Her father expressed confidence in her ability to overcome this adversity and represent India with pride.
