Sandy Meyer-Wölden Recalls Witnessing Tommy Haas’s Parents’ Accident

Alessandra “Sandy” Meyer-Wölden recalled witnessing a severe motorcycle accident involving the parents of her former partner, Tommy Haas, during an appearance on the streaming show Eating With My Ex VIP on Paramount+.

The couple, who dated on and off between 1999 and 2006 after meeting in Florida, sat down for an on-camera conversation roughly 20 years after their separation, BUNTE reported.

The discussion turned to a dramatic event in June 2002 in Sarasota, Florida, when Meyer-Wölden, then 19 years old, happened to see a Harley-Davidson collide with a car.

“I was driving in the car, I see your Harley-Davidson drive past out of the corner of my eye—and the next thing I see is two people flying ten meters off the motorcycle onto the street,” she described during the show, according to BUNTE.

Meyer-Wölden initially believed Haas was on the bike before realizing the injured individuals lying on the road were his parents.

“The police came, the ambulance came, the helicopter came, and it was one of the craziest calls of my life,” she said, as reported by BUNTE, adding that she called Haas in panic because she did not know if they had a pulse or were still alive.

Haas remembered the phone call during the broadcast, telling Meyer-Wölden, “Yes, that was really crazy. I had to calm you down first because I didn’t even know what you were talking about or what was happening right then. And then I saw the helicopter land.”

“That was a moment you never forget—and who was there at someone’s side,” Haas added, according to BUNTE.

Media reports from the time indicated that the father of Tommy Haas faced life-threatening injuries initially, while his mother required extensive surgery.

Reflecting on the meeting, Haas called it emotional and said it brought him back to that period, noting how it highlighted the shared experiences of their relationship. Meyer-Wölden similarly said that the trials brought them closer together.

Both pointed to their young age at the time and Haas’s demanding travel schedule as a professional tennis player as the primary reasons their relationship ultimately ended.
