Organisers of the competition said they were “confident” Ms Corria will still be able to take part in the final in May.
Ms Corria, from Barry, South Wales, is a black rights activist and became the first woman of colour in the pageant’s 70-year history to be crowned Miss Wales.
A spokesperson for Miss Wales said: “We are saddened to tell you that our wonderful Miss Wales, Darcey Corria, has been hospitalised after a car crash near Bridgend this week.
