Kuya Kim Atienza Taken to ER Following Motorcycle Accident
TiktoClock host Kuya Kim Atienza recently encountered a harrowing motorcycle accident that could have ended in tragedy.
In a Facebook post on Thursday (March 6), Kuya Kim recounted the terrifying experience. The accident occurred when a dog suddenly ran into his path, causing him to lose control and crash. The impact sent him flying eight feet over the handlebars before landing hard on the pavement. He recalled hearing a loud crack and instantly feeling something break in his body.
Fortunately, a group of off-duty medics from the Fire Emergency Paramedic Assistance Group Emergency Medical Services Philippines (FEPAG EMS) happened to be nearby and quickly came to his aid.
“It was a miracle that the boys of FEPAG EMS PHILS were right behind me, off duty on their way to have dinner in Malate. The FEPAG boys brought me to [Makati Medical Center], checked me in the ER, and quietly left when they knew I was okay,” he shared.
Despite the severity of the crash, Kuya Kim expressed gratitude that he only suffered broken ribs with no other major injuries. He also thanked God, the medical team, and his children, Felicia and Emmanuelle, who stayed by his side in the hospital.
“Maraming maraming salamat, Panginoon. You are good, unchanging, and ever-present in everything I do. I have nothing in my heart but gratitude. Life is good. God is good all the time,” he wrote.
Fans and friends flooded his post with messages of support, relieved that he survived the ordeal. Some also inquired about his motorcycle, to which he reassured them that everything was fixable.
For now, Kuya Kim is taking time off from work and riding to focus on his recovery.
