Haryana Roadways yesterday honoured its driver Sushil Kumar and conductor Paramjeet for rescuing Indian national cricketer Rishabh Pant who met with a car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway near Roorkee on Friday.
Rishabh Pant met with an accident while returning from Delhi to Roorkee as his car collided with the divider on the Narsan border of Roorkee near Hammadpur Jhal.
Pant was driving his car when he met with the accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. Images from the accident showed the car in a gutted state.
Bus driver Sushil Kumar and conductor Paramjeet spotted an uncontrolled car ram over the divider near Gurukul Narsan and they ran towards the car to help the passenger.
As Pant was dragged out, the car caught fire and burned down within 5-7 seconds. He had major injuries on his back.
Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer V. V. S. Laxman took to Twitter to thank the Haryana Roadways staff who helped Pant following his car accident.
“Gratitude to Sushil Kumar, a Haryana Roadways driver who took Rishabh Pant away from the burning car, wrapped him with a bedsheet and called the ambulance. (C.D)
