Nagtamo ng pinasala sa kanyang katawan ang Kapuso TV host na si Kim Atienza matapos masangkot sa isang road accident.

Hindi malinaw kung kailan naganap ang aksidente.

Ang malinaw, base sa kanyang Instagram post, ay naka-helmet si Kuya Kim kaya maaaring motorcycle accident ang kanyang kinasangkutan.

Kilala si Kuya Kim na mahilig mag-motorsiklo sa pagpasok sa trabaho.

Sa kanyang Instagram ngayong hapon ng Huwebes, March 6, 2025, ibinahagi ni Kuya Kim ng ilang larawan at videos nang dalhin siya sa ospital ng first responders na kaagad tumulong sa kanya.

Panimula niya sa kanyang Instagram post: “Thank you Lord for my 4th life!”

Kasunod nito ay inilahad ni Kuya Kim ang nangyari sa kanya.

Bigla na lang daw may sumulpot na malaking aso sa kalsada na naging dahilan para mabitawan niya ang manibela ng kanyang motorsiklo at tumilapon siya ng lampas walong talampakan sa gilid ng kalsada.

Nakarinig daw siya ng malakas na lagatok sa kanyang katawan, at nalaman niya agad na may nabali rito.

Kalaunan, nakumpirmang nabali ang bahagi ng kanyang tadyang.

Lahad niya sa kanyang post: “Riding home from work a huge dog darted straight to my path, making me crash. I flew 8 feet over my handlebars hitting the pavement with a thud. I heard a loud crack and knew something was broken.

“As I laid on the street stunned, miracle of miracles, in seconds, a fully staffed ambulance arrived giving me first aid and stopping the cars from running me over.”

Milagro raw na maituturing ni Kuya Kim na nasa likuran lang niya ang mga staff ng Fire Emergency Paramedic Assistance Group Emergency Medical Services (FEPAG EMS).

Naka-off duty raw ang mga ito dahil may pupuntahan silang dinner sa Malate, Manila.

Ito raw ang mga nagdala sa kanya sa ospital.

Dagdag ni Kuya Kim, published as is: “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 MMC, checked me in the ER and quietly left when they knew I was ok.”

Kasunod na pinasalamatan ni Kim ang asawang si Felicia “Feli” Hung Atienza at anak na si Emman Atienza.

Pati na ang barangday officials at ang isa pang kaibigan.

Pagpapatuloy ni Kuya Kim sa kanyang post: “Feli and emman were in the ER to take care of their broken papa. (That was so comforting seeing them!)

“I’m on pain meds now, off work and riding for a few days till my rib heals.

“God loves me so much. I could’ve broken my spine or banged my head leaving me with graver injuries (or death) but all I have is a broken rib.

“I could’ve been run over in the dark if not for the off duty FEPAG boys stopping traffic for me.”

Sa huli, hindi nakalimutang magpaabot ng taus-pusong pasasalamat ni Kuya Kim sa Diyos dahil iniligtas Siya nito sa kapahamakan.

Pagtatapos niya: “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.”

KIM ATIENZA’S NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES

Ikaapat na ngang buhay na maituturing ang muling pagkaligtas ni Kim mula sa aksidente.

Noong 2023, sinabi nitong hindi siya takot mamatay at alam niyang sa langit siya mapupunta.

“Hindi na ako takot mamatay… I can die today.

“Kasi alam ko kung saan ako pupunta. Alam kong pupunta ako sa langit.

“Because I have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and repented for my sins,” pahayag ni Kuya Kim sa panayam niya kay Boy Abunda sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda noong March 30, 2023.

Bago pa nitong panibagong aksidente niya, dalawang near-death experiences na ang nalampasan ni Kuya Kim sa kanyang buhay.

Una, noong 2010, kung saan siya dumanas ng mild stroke.

Noong 2013 naman, dinapuan siya ng life-threatening rare disease na Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS).

Ayon sa MayoClinic.org, ang GBS ay “rare disorder in which your body’s immune system attacks your nerves.”

Pag-alala pa niya, “I was so weak, I was paralyzed. I thought I was going to die. That’s when I totally leaned on Him and I said, ‘Lord, Ikaw na ang bahala.’”
