India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was indeed lucky to have survived a gruesome car accident on Friday morning. He was on his way to Roorkee when he dozed off and lost control of his luxury car which eventually collided with a road divider and caught fire on the Delhi-Dehradun highway.
Reportedly, the driver and the conductor of a Haryana Roadways bus passing by spotted the destroyed vehicle and took an injured Pant out of it before it was set ablaze. The Indian cricketer was then taken to Saksham Hospital Multispecialty and Trauma Centre, where he was referred to Max Hospital in Dehradun.
