Rishabh Pant's condition shows 'substantial improvement' after horrific car crash

Dehradun: Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant, who suffered a major car accident on Friday, has undergone minor plastic surgery on his head and is out of danger, media report said.

"Rishabh Pant underwent a minor plastic surgery near his forehead. A 3-member DDCA team is reaching Dehradun in an hour. BCCI is constantly in touch with the doctors at Max Hospital and with Pant's family. He is currently stable and out of danger. We are yet to decide whether he needs to be shifted to Delhi or not," DDCA director Shyam Sharma told NDTV on Saturday.

Pant managed to come out of his car on time as his high-end car rammed into a road barrier and caught fire on the Delhi-Dehradun highway.

He sustained a ligament injury in his right knee and cuts above his forehead.

Another media report quoted a family source as saying that Pant has made “substantial improvement” and there are no plans to shift him to another hospital.

Pant was alone in the car when he met with the accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway.

Haridwar (Rural) Superintendent of Police SK Singh said Pant was going to Roorkee to meet his relatives.

The accident occurred as Pant fell asleep while driving a kilometre ahead of Narsan towards Roorkee.

Accident photographs showed the car was seen in a badly burnt condition as the vehicle caught fire soon after the cricketer was rescued.
