In May 2022, former Australian legend Andrew Symonds died in a car accident when his vehicle overturned off the road in Townsville, Queensland. Later that year, in December 2022, former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff narrowly escaped a horrific accident while filming an episode of BBC’s show Top Gear.
Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was involved in a terrifying car accident on December 30, 2022. His BMW collided with a road divider on the Delhi-Dehradun highway, leaving him with severe head, back, and leg injuries. Pant underwent an extended recovery of more than 18 months before making a return to international cricket during the T20 World Cup 2024.
