2. The driver isn't going so well but he's stable after lengthy surgery
3. If I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, well, best not to think about ithttps://t.co/9NLZCQSf2G

Collins sustained minor injuries in the terrifying accident. 

Collins told The Australian that wearing a seatbelt could have saved his life. 

“The only reason I’m still in one piece after hitting the truck at the speed we did is because I had my seatbelt on,” he said.

“It’s a miracle Rehman survived but I’m devastated that he’s sustained serious injuries. Of course, I hope with all my heart that he pulls through to make a full recovery.

“Watching so many people come together to free him from the wreckage reflects the community spirit we saw everywhere in our month touring Pakistan. Horrible as the accident was, I still can’t wait to return to this wonderful country.”
