Team News: Steven de Jongh Crashes into Ravine

Trek-Segafredo is relieved to announce that their DS, Steven de Jongh, did not sustain more serious injuries other than a concussion in the crash during his training ride today close to Girona, Spain.

Earlier today, Steven’s wife Renée posted a message on Twitter to ask for help in the search for her husband who went missing around noon. Strava records showed his ride had stopped abruptly in a descent close to La Ganga. The local police reacted promptly and started a search operation at that precise spot. Late afternoon a helicopter found Steven lying in a ravine, unconscious, but with a pulse and breathing.

De Jongh was brought to consciousness by the paramedics and transported to the hospital in Girona, where further examinations showed that he suffers from a severe concussion. He complains that “everything hurts right now” but thankfully no broken bones have been revealed.

As for now, the conditions of the accident still remain unclear. We wish Steven a speedy and complete recovery.
