Citizen Queen singer Cora Isabel is recovering from “life-threatening” injuries sustained in a car accident.
Isabel, 23, confirmed the accident in a Thursday, September 26, statement on the band’s Instagram page.
“I am reaching out with a heavy heart to share some difficult news. Recently I was involved in a serious car accident that left me with significant injuries, including multiple broken bones and fractures,” she wrote. “It was a harrowing experience, as I was pinned down by a guard rail and it took firefighters over 30 minutes to safely extract me from the vehicle.”
Isabel — a member of the girl group Citizen Queen alongside Kaedi Dalley and Nina Ann Nelson, which was formed in 2018 — was subsequently taken to a local hospital, where she stayed for two weeks.
