"The driver was very tired and he went off to sleep while driving, crashing the car into a lamppost. The car tumbled over but I managed to escape after breaking the window-pane. A fire broke out in the car soon after," says the actress.
Madra then hitched a ride to the nearest taxi stand on a truck, got herself examined by a doctor and still managed to catch her flight.
On reaching Mumbai, the actress underwent a CT scan. "A few pieces of shattered glass had pierced my forehead. But there are no major injuries," she said.u00a0
