PETALING JAYA: National junior
cyclist Nur Rozi Yanti Mat Rodzi is in critical condition after she was
run over by her escort van while cycling on the Silk Highway on
Saturday.
The 17-year-old is currently undergoing surgery after suffering injuries to her head and lungs, along with three broken ribs.
Her breathing is being aided by a ventilator.
Nur Rozi Yanti was training with several other athletes along KM19 of the highway headed to Bukit Jalil at about 9.45am, said Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Willey Richard.
The group was accompanied by a driver in a Nissan Urvan, acting as their escort on the road.
Nur Rozi Yanti reportedly suffered a cramp in her leg and tried to readjust her footing on the paddles, which caused her to fall off her bicycle.
"The driver did not realise she was having problems, and was not able to brake in time when she fell," ACP Willey said.
Nur Rozi Yanti was rushed to the Kajang Hospital where she was warded in the intensive care unit (ICU).
When contacted, a spokesman for the National Sports Council said that Nur Rozi Yanti's family had given consent for doctors to operate on her.
