Van Deventer was training on a road in Ruimsig, outside Johannesburg, last week when a car lot control and hit him.
Van Deventer holds the South African record for the 3000m and won the South African 1500m title last month.
Following an operation after his accident, he’ll be unable to return to running for a couple of months.
