Damn unpleasant news, here's fingers, toes etc crossed that his
condition will improve. CA will probably issue a media release Monday
and CN will also have a update on first edition.

Aw, damn that's a bad incident. And it's his birthday in 3 days time!

Here's hoping it's just a concussion and he's home for his birthday. And I
hope that witness comes up with the details of the cause of the crash.

I saw a news headline on TV last night and it was like 2 or 3 seconds
and said Jongeward involved in Cyclist accident, thought it was quite
strange, but they were showing a picture of a car, that is just to
weird to.

The news limited article mentioned they were actually celebrating
Matthews birthday and due to certain events also mentioned, he's now in
a induced coma. Bloody hell.

Australian cyclist injured in freak road accident
Australian cyclist Matthew Rex is in a serious but stable condition
after being hit by a car driven by friend and training partner Chris
Jongewaard in Normanville, South Australia on Saturday night. Rex, a
former member of the Australian Institute of Sport's under 23 program
who now rides for Stuart O'Grady's development squad, Team O'Grady,
sustained severe head injuries in the accident and is currently in an
induced coma.

Rex was riding with another person when the crash happened near to the
Normanville hotel where Rex and Jongewaard had been celebrating Rex's
22nd birthday. "The circumstances of the crash are extremely unusual,"
said Rex's manager Max Stevens to the Adelaide Sunday Mail. "The family
is obviously devastated with what's happened. It looks like a case of a
birthday celebration that has turned into a tragedy."

According to a police spokesman, Jongewaard, a recent winner of the
Australian Mountain Bike Championship, had undergone a breath test
after the accident.

Bloody hell, they've charged the national XC champion (Jongewaard). I
wonder what happened.
