The Manchester City forward is facing at least two months out after breaking a rib in the accident late on Thursday night.
It happened less than 48 hours before City’s game at Chelsea today, but boss Pep Guardiola insisted he had no problem with his star striker being abroad so close to a big game.
Aguero was being driven to the airport after a show by Colombian star Maluma when the driver appeared to lose control and hit a lamp post.
Dad Leonel Del Castillo said: “The taxi was driving very fast, Kun (Aguero) asked him to slow down, put on his seat belt and crashed instantly.
“He was lucky. They put him on painkillers, he was released and taken to Manchester.”
By the time his dad spoke Aguero had already been interviewed by a radio station in his homeland.
He said: “The taxi driver did not see the curve and skid. And when he skidded, we hit the pole.
“I broke my rib, now I’m resting. It hurts me badly. I’ll be discharged in a little while.”
Guardiola, who only found out about the incident yesterday morning, brushed off suggestions Aguero should not have been in the Netherlands and claimed the accident was no different to defender Benjamin Mendy being ruled out until April with a cruciate injury.
The Manchester City boss said: “I didn’t speak with him. Why should he apologise to me? No. Mendy too?
“Sergio didn’t drive. I know a player who got injured off a broken glass in the kitchen and cut his finger - he was out two months. There. Life is life.
“If they are fathers, they have a full responsibility on their shoulders on and off the pitch. They know what they have to do.
“I have a private life, a family. There are rules and ways to live between each other and that’s all. He’s strong enough.
“I don’t want to know what my players do. He travelled in a private jet so no problem.
“I don’t know what the supporters think. Some of them can be upset, some not.
“At the end, it’s fortunate the injury is not bad, he’s healthy. He’s alive. The most important thing is he’s okay.”
With Mendy facing a lengthy spell on the out and skipper Vincent Kompany still sidelined, the Aguero incident is hardly ideal preparation for the Chelsea showdown.
But Guardiola said: “We have to overcome these situations if you want to become a team that others consider big and say it doesn’t matter what happens.
“The big clubs do it - they overcome the difficult situations.
“It’s always difficult at Stamford Bridge, the last champions of the Premier League. Always complicated. How we react in that situation is what I want to see.
“If people are saying we can’t do it now, we’ll never reach what we want in the next five or six years.”
