It was the duatleta itself that told what happened in an instagram publication, where they sent messages of encouragement.

"First I wanted to give a million thanks to all the people that you have worried about me ... From the people who were with me there, then in the hospital and every little mess ️ Yesterday, when I was preparing to do the last bike training for the Spanish Duathlon Cpt, I suffered a hit of a van, which could have been much worse ....

The facial and shoulder sequels leave me out of this Cpt, and the most important within two weeks, the Duathlon World Cpt. Sadness because I was very strong ... but very happy to tell you about it and to have all my people, family and my unconditional support ... now to recover ?".

María Varo faced the appointments of Duathlon and Elite Triathlon of 2019 as her main goals, after being 5ª in the European Duathlon 2018 and 3ª in the Spanish championship.
