Australian commentator Collins survives car crash in Lahore

Australian cricket commentator Adam Collins, who works for SEN, has survived a frightening car crash on his way to depart from Pakistan.

According to details, the 37-year-old was in Pakistan to cover the Test series and while heading to Lahore airport, his vehicle collided with a stationary truck.

The impact sent the truck and car sliding down the road as the crash occurred at 100 kph.

Collins had a bruise to his chest and abdomen, while the driver suffered significant injuries.

According to Collins, the driver is in a stable condition after a lengthy surgery of six hours. He is now expected to spend a month in hospital as part of his recovery.

Collins is safe and has now reunited with his family in London.

Few things I want to stress with this news circulating:

1. It was an awful crash but I'm home and safe and fine
2. The driver isn't going so well but he's stable after lengthy surgery
3. If I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, well, best not to think about ithttps://t.co/9NLZCQSf2G

Collins told The Australian that he believes wearing a seatbelt could’ve saved his life.

“The only reason I’m still in one piece after hitting the truck at the speed we did is because I had my seatbelt on,” he said.

“It’s a miracle Rehman survived but I’m devastated that he’s sustained serious injuries. Of course, I hope with all my heart that he pulls through to make a full recovery.

“Watching so many people come together to free him from the wreckage reflects the community spirit we saw everywhere in our month touring Pakistan. Horrible as the accident was, I still can’t wait to return to this wonderful country.”
