Rishabh Pant Car Accident News: Cricketer Rishabh Pant has reportedly blamed potholes on a section of Uttarakhand stretch behind his near-fatal accident. He had suffered multiple injuries in a car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway near Roorkee in the wee hours of Friday.
Although the cricketer has been shifted from the ICU to the private ward of Max Hospital, Dehradun, pain in his leg continues to persist. He has also undergone a minor plastic surgety to treat his facial injuries.
Earlier, Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) director Shyam Sharma, who also called on Rishabh Pant on Saturday, told mediapersons that the cricketer was trying to negotiate a pothole when his Mercedes hit a divider and caught fire. His car rolled over to the other side of the road after hitting the divider.
Rajat and Nishu, who had admitted star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to the hospital, visited him at Max Hospital in Dehradun on Monday.
