Clarke, who was part of the commentary panel for the recently concluded IPL 2026, revealed he was travelling as a passenger in the vehicle when it collided with a semi-trailer, leaving the front half of the car wedged underneath the truck. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Interesting trip home, to say the least. Let me start by saying thank God for good people in India. That's why I made it home safely,\" Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I was asleep. I fell asleep after the game, travelling. Obviously, I wasn't driving. Then I woke up to virtually the front half of the car being under a truck. The driver explained to me that the brake lights on the truck weren't working. So my driver had hit the truck up the backside. Again, it was a big semi-trailer, and our car had gone underneath,\" Clarke revealed. \"The car's certainly written off,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While the former Australian captain escaped with some bruises, he feared that the driver suffered a broken leg. \"I got away with some bruises, but I definitely think he had a little break in his leg. I was really concerned because he was so scared. It wasn't his car; he works for the company,\" Clarke added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"Everyone at the BCCI, everybody there, they've been checking in on him, and they've been checking in on me. They've been unreal. So I'm very grateful for that. It was a complete accident. These things happen all the time, but for me it was more the shock because I was fast asleep and then woke up to see myself so close to being underneath a truck,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
