After Sunil Gavaskar's car accident yesterday while traveling from Manchester to London, we look at other cricketers who have been in serious road accidents in the past

Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Runako Morton, Collie Smith, Sairaj Bahutule and Kaushal Lokuarachchi
Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi (India)
Mak Pataudi, who would go on to captain India, met with an accident while returning home during Oxford's game against Sussex on July 1, 1961. The car he was travelling in met with a head-on collision with another vehicle. Pataudi was taken to hospital. It was discovered that he had badly injured his right eye, so much so that he would lose vision in that eye. A splinter had passed from the windscreen and entered the eye.
Runako Morton (West Indies)
The West Indies batsman (33) met with a tragic death in 2012 while returning home from a game in Trinidad. He rammed the vehicle into a pole and could not survive the impact of the collision.
