When contacted by Astro Arena, Ahmad Shapawai Ismail, director-general of the National Sports Council (NSC), assured that the victims are in a stable condition.
"They are currently undergoing emergency treatment and will take X-ray scans later to scan for potential internal injuries," he said.
"Johari suffered injuries on his arms, legs and stomach, while our pilot riders [Syafiq and Nizam] might have broken bones, but it still unclear and needs further examination."
The cyclists are scheduled to compete at the upcoming 2017 ASEAN Para Games from September 17 to 23.
