Rishabh Pant survives a deadly car accident

Rishabh Pant’s Mercedes collided with a divider near Manglaur in Uttarakhand’s Haridwar district early on Friday. Pant lost control of the vehicle as it hit the divider on NH 58 of the Mangalore Kotwali area. As per the local police, Pant was alone in the car when his Mercedes GLE car hit the divider railings.

“Hearing a loud sound of the accident, nearby villagers along with the local cops, rushed to the spot and pulled him out of the car. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital from where he was referred to a major hospital in Dehradun,” said Swapn Kishor Singh, superintendent of police, Haridwar.

“Pant sustained injuries on his forehead, a hand and right knee. However, he is conscious and able to talk. The car he was driving was completely burnt. He is lucky to survive the severe accident,” he further added.

Another police officer informed TOI about the possible reason behind the accident, “It is likely that Pant fell asleep while driving because there was no fog on the road which could have affected the visibility. He has a cut on his left eyebrow and a ligament injury on his right knee apart from having bruises on his back.”

Rishabh Pant’s car images have also emerged on social media platforms and the terrible news has drawn reactions from several former cricketers including VVS Laxman who has prayed for Pant’s recovery. A team of doctors is currently holding an evaluation for any possible internal injury to Pant after he survived the deadly accident.
