According to the locals, the cricketer left NHPC at high speed but he lost control which ended up skidding on the road and hitting the truck outside.
On the other hand, some media outlets reported that Shoaib Malik was allegedly racing his car with Wahab Riaz, which caused the accident.
However, his manager denied these reports and said that he was unable to see the truck due to the fog.
