Indonesian national road-race cyclist Hari Fitrianto was injured after being hit by a car during a training session in Subang, West Java, on Friday.
Hari, who is a member of Team Indonesia that is taking part in the upcoming Asian Games, had been cycling on a route connecting Subang and Bandung in West Java when the accident took place, said Indonesian Cycling Association (ISSI) chief Raja “Okto” Sapta Oktohari.
The accident happened on a hilly spot known as Tanjakan Emen (Emen’s climb).
Hari, 33, was taken to Advent Hospital in Bandung, West Java, for further treatment. “He vomited blood when he was brought to the hospital. Based on the checkup, he is suffering moderate concussion,” Okto told The Jakarta Post on Friday.
Besides the concussion, Hari also suffered bruises on his right temple and cheek bone as well as a broken gum bone, Okto added.
As a semi-professional cyclist, Hari rides for Laos-based Nex CCN Cycling Team. His achievements include being a runner-up in the 2013 Tour of East Java and 2015 Tour of Borneo.
Despite the danger, many foreign cyclists make use Emen’s climb to train on. Okto said foreign cyclists should not train on it without supervision from the Indonesian authorities.
