The incident occurred in Miami, United States, where the 32-year-old was driving when she reportedly lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a wall.
The accident left Maria Sol Messi with multiple injuries, including spinal fractures and burns, prompting an immediate halt to preparations for her upcoming wedding.
Argentinian television journalist Ángel de Brito confirmed the development on the entertainment programme LAM, saying Maria Sol Messi is now out of danger but faces a lengthy period of recovery and rehabilitation.
The journalist said the wedding, scheduled to take place on January 3 in Rosario, Argentina, has been postponed on medical advice, as her injuries require careful and sustained treatment.
According to information shared by the family, Maria Sol Messi suffered fractures to two vertebrae, her heel and her wrist, alongside burn injuries.
Her mother, Celia Cuccittini, confirmed that she fainted while driving, leading to the crash.
Maria Sol Messi has since returned to Rosario, her hometown, where she has begun rehabilitation under medical supervision.
While her condition is described as stable, doctors have advised against travel or major physical strain in the near term.
She was due to marry Julián “Tuli” Arellano, a member of Inter Miami’s under-19 coaching staff, in a ceremony expected to draw close family members, including Lionel Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo.
A fashion designer and entrepreneur, Maria Sol Messi has largely kept out of the public spotlight.
She previously worked as brand manager for The Messi Store and has pursued independent creative projects in Argentina and Europe.

President Bola Tinubu has rejoiced with the Group Chief Executive of Oando Plc, Adewale Tinubu, who clocked 59 years and has had a resounding impact on Nigeria’s energy sector.
A statement by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, said the President shared in the joy of celebrating Forbes’s “African King of Oil”, whose entrepreneurial and innovative spirit transformed Oando from a petroleum marketing company into a fully integrated energy group with upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
President Tinubu noted the economic impact of the attorney and businessman’s investment in creating job opportunities for many Nigerians, spearheading landmark deals such as the ConocoPhillips acquisition and the historic listing on the South African and Nigerian stock exchanges.
The President commended the Group Chief Executive of Oando for championing the government’s local content development by leading indigenous companies to participate in the oil and gas sector and taking frontline roles in environmental protection.
He acknowledged the visionary role of Wale Tinubu in establishing the Oando Foundation in 2011, which currently supports more than 88 schools across the country and promotes community development and environmental sustainability.
President Tinubu prayed for the well-being of the entrepreneur and his family.
