Kannada actor Sanchari Vijay sustained serious injuries after he met with a road accident in Bengaluru on Saturday night. The National Award winner had gone out to buy medicines with his friend on a two-wheeler and the two were returning to the latter’s residence when the bike skidded and hit an electric pole at L&T South City, JP Nagar 7th Phase at 11.45 pm on Saturday, reports Times of India.
Vijay was the pillion rider while his friend Naveen was riding the bike. Both were rushed to a nearby private hospital where Naveen was operated upon for his fractured leg and Vijay underwent surgeries for leg and head injuries.
Dr Arun L Naik, the neurologist at Apollo Hospital, said they have operated on Vijay’s brain after finding internal bleeding. “He is on ventilator. We can’t comment further,” he said.
