According to News 18, Ganguly was riding in a Range Rover, which was at a normal speed. The truck came from behind and hit the vehicle, making the driver press the brakes. This made the vehicles in the convoy crash into one another.
The former captain had to wait for ten minutes in view of the unexpected situation, after which he proceeded to the University of Burdwan. At the university, Ganguly mingled with students and dignitaries, where he also discussed the future of Indian cricket and narrated incidents from his storied career.
