Had there been a third party injury/death or property damage , he would hv faced legal consequences.   But that's not the case here.   So, he should escape luckily.  

There is property damage for sure. Divider plus may be more

Pant will recover in time for WC 23

No way. Injury near knees will take lot of time. He is not playing in 2023

That would come under drowsy or tired driving. However, there are no laws against that if I am not wrong. 
 

One can be charged for the damage caused due to the consequence of tired driving (as it would be the case even if you are not tired). 
 

Yes, it is better to be proactive and not drive when tired. Unfortunately, it is far too common. 

 

speed can be checked too. It has caused public property damage.

That damage would be covered by Pant or his insurance. 
 

What’s wrong with the speed?

Can some genius explain how is it considered rash driving?  From the reports, wasn’t he driving on a highway, where vehicles are not expected to drive slowly? Was he drunk? 
 

 

 

 

Most Indian highways aren't built for very high speed. You always have to be on the lookout for random pot holes, stray cattles or dogs, etc. Pant apparently was speeding more than he could handle. 

 

Anyways road accidents happen quite often. Pant should not be blamed for it, I don't think so he was drunk. Fortunately it wasn't too serious for him and no one else got injured.

Third party property damage means 'private property' only (belonging to an individual or corporate).

Horrible news. Thank God he's alive. 

Get well soon Champ

He could have been picked for the SL series. He would not have gone. He went there for "strength and conditioning". What a dreadful irony.  Is it because of sanju samson fan club?

 

Shocking comment. Accident can happen anytime.

Even if the damage is covered by insurance the UP Gov can file a case for reckless driving.

So? Pant would have his lawyers to present his case. 
 

The priority here is that Pant recovers well. Other things can be sorted out.

Mandatory third party insurance exists exactly for those instances. 

Glad he's okay. If he was drunk then it will definitely come out sooner or later.

If he was speed then for sure he needs to be punished.

The worst form of knee injury ACL takes 3-4 months. He couldnt have ACL in an accident as its is a force trauma not a bent trauma..this is merely a grade 1 / 2 ligament tear which gets well in 2 weeks to 5 weeks

It is Delhi guys and if you are driving late night or early morning then that is not a right idea in this season. The weather is really bad and you could barely see anything at 5 a.m in the morning. A lesson for all who go for a drive in winter early morning. Avoid driving before 8 am.

I reckon he may recover by then...  It will be tight though.  BCCI will try its best.  Pant on one leg is better than our maharathis in Test.
