Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant was involved in a car accident on Friday morning near Roorkee. He was going to his home in Dehradun, but he dozed off, and his vehicle crashed on the road divider. He was saved by the people around the road and the bus driver of Haryana Roadways.
Police said he was alone in the car, dozed off for some seconds, and lost control of the vehicle. He was driving a Mercedes-AMG GLE43 Coupe.
It is one of the most luxurious cars in the world and is a fully tested car for accidents. The car played an important role in saving his life because it would be really dangerous for him if he had been in another car.
