Rishabh Pant accident: Indian cricketer looted, called for ambulance himself after car crash: Reports

Prayers flooded in for Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant after he was hospitalised following a car accident on Friday morning. The 25-year-old escaped with severe injuries and remains in stable condition. However, as per reports, following the accident some miscreants looted him and eloped from the scene instead of helping him. 

The cricketer's speeding car apparently hit a pile of soil near Hammadpur, close to Roorkee's Narsan border, spinning out of control and colliding with the barricade. According to eyewitnesses, the car was engulfed in flames immediately after the mishap. Pant was unable to get out of the car due to injuries and eventually managed to escape the vehicle after breaking the window. 

According to reports, a few men approached the spot of the accident and took advantage of the cricketer's injuries by looting cash from one of his bags and eloping the scene. Pant contacted the authorities and the ambulance himself despite sustaining several injuries. 

He is stable at the moment, there doesn't appear to be cause for major worry: Dr. Dishant Yagnik

However, the star Indian batter is stable and has escaped any severe injuries. He is currently being assessed at the Max Hospital in Dehradun, with the doctors probing for any internal injuries. He has sustained lacerations on his back and near his eye, along with a ligament tear in his right knee. Pant was shifted to Max Hospital Dehradun after receiving primary treatment at Saksham Hospital Multispeciality and Trauma Centre.

"We are still examining him (Pant). He is stable at the moment, there doesn't appear to be cause for major worry. Once the evaluation is complete, we will put out a detailed bulletin. He is conscious, and he is talking, and the doctors are examining wherever he is saying there is discomfort. Orthopedics and plastic surgeons are looking at him right now. And we are examining for any internal injuries," said Dr. Dishant Yagnik, medical superintendent at Max Hospital, Dehradun.
