Shoaib Malik’s Sports Car damaged in Accident

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik escaped a nasty accident on January 10, 2021, when his sports car crashed into a truck in Lahore.

The 38-year-old cricketer was reportedly leaving the Pakistan Cricket Board’s National High-Performance Centre (NHPC) at the time of the incident.

It is believed that Shoaib Malik’s sports car lost control and crashed into a truck that was parked near a restaurant.

He had allegedly been driving over the speed limit and lost control of his car.

The Pakistani cricketer escaped the incident unharmed, however, the same can not be said for his sports car.

Shoaib took to Twitter shortly after the accident to inform fans that he was unharmed.
