Eduard Novak, the eldest son of the former Minister of Sports Eduard Novak, was involved in an accident while training on a bicycle. Edward (20 years old) only needed a minor surgical intervention, the ex-minister said.

The message was published by Eduard Novak on his personal Facebook account

“Cycling in Romania is an extreme sport. Today, Edward, with whom we were training, was hit by a car. Fortunately, he survived only minor surgery. A few years ago, Edmond went through the same thing.

Roads in Romania are extremely dangerous, nervous drivers, aggressive driving, zero attention to road users. Because that’s who we are.

Partners on the road, we should share the roads with cyclists, motorcyclists, but we don’t. How to perform in conditions when not only there is nowhere to train, there is no money for equipment, but you also risk your life, it is difficult for me to understand.

The authorities are happy when the medals come home, and the athletes, behold, are victims of chaos on the country’s roads” – Eduard Novakon Facebook.

The former minister believes that it is time for the traffic police to start an information and education campaign for drivers, News.ro reports.

“Perhaps it’s time for the traffic police to start an informational campaign for drivers.

I am ready to help, participate, do everything in human power so that those who are engaged in cycling, as a hobby or out of necessity, are no longer called donors,” he concluded. Eduard Novak.

The former sports minister adds that the accident happened on DN12, not on the track.
