Being known as a health and fitness enthusiast, ABS-CBN host Kim Atienza—or usually referred to as ‘Kuya Kim by his fans and supporters—ironically suffered from a bike accident while finishing a triathlon race.
Through a couple of Instagram uploads on Sunday (June 5, 2016), the 49-year-old ‘It’s Showtime’ host revealed that he was rushed to the Emergency Room of an undisclosed hospital in Subic Bay, Olongapo after suffering from a minor accident.
Based on the comment of his Instagram post, Kuya Kim had an accident while finishing his Regent 5150 triathlon race in Olongapo City. Moreover, the ABS-CBN host assured all of his fans and supporters that he is fine and only needed a couple of stitches for his wounds.
“To God be the glory! My hardest earned tri medal so far. Still finished welll despite my bike crash in IDESS. Congratulations to my #regentfoods family and #sunriseevwnts for a well organized race. In the ER now for some stitches.”
Through a separate upload, Kuya Kim revealed that if not for his trusty bike helmet, he could have been in critical condition now because of the tragic bike crash.
“Thank you @rudyprojectph for the #boost aero helmet. It saved my life in today’s bike crash. All I have is a bruise when it could’ve been critical. @gabrielegboschi @julieboschi #regent5150″
As of the moment, Kuya Kim continues to recover and heal his wounds which he got from his minor bike accident at his home in Manila.
