India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been injured in a serious car accident and has been taken to hospital in Dehradun. The full extent of his injuries is not yet known.
According to Dr Sushil Nagar who led the emergency treatment, Pant has lacerative wounds on his forehead, one right above the left eye; there is a ligament tear in his knee; and abrasions on his back. However, the first X-rays suggest there is no fracture and there are no burns on Pant's body despite his car catching fire.
He has been sent to the Max Hospital in Dehradun where further scans, including an MRI, will determine the extent of injuries and further course of treatment. Pant reached the hospital at 6am.
The accident took place in the early hours on Friday, when Pant was driving to Roorkee in Uttarakhand. He was subsequently taken to a local hospital before being moved to Dehradun*.
"Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant's car met with an accident at around 5:30 am," Director General of Uttarakhand Police, Ashok Kumar, was quoted as saying by NDTV. "The incident took place at Mohammedpur Jat near Roorkee. According to what Pant said, he dozed off while driving and as a result the car collided with the divider and caught fire. He was moved to the Roorkee hospital from where he has now been shifted to Dehradun."
Pant, 25, was not part of the India squads for the T20I and ODI home series against Sri Lanka beginning on January 3. He was due to head to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru in Bengaluru for strength and conditioning before the Test series against Australia in February.

It seems overspeed driving at first place.

Let's see if he was drunk as well.

It will be very interesting and negative report for Pant.

He was driving.... Most probably, bcci will try to cover up if he was drunk

 

[STREANH]

I'm glad nobody else had to get injured or killed because of his negligence.

Luckily for him, he is okay but most likely this is the end of his career and people who think it's cool to drive while drunk get another example.

Agreed. This is one reason why I call for abolishing of personal vehicles. Added to this is the arrogance he has coming from being a prominent kirketer. Kirket and every other public and competitive sport should be abolished. A waste of time added with obscene Capitalism and personality worship. Sports should become small, done for health and recreation. Things like swimming and badminton, with no spectators.

STREANH, long time no see.

@-=virus=- @Skull and Bones, see what I say about personal vehicles and what STREANH said ?
