In a freak accident, cricketer- turned-politician Imran Khan was today badly hurt and suffered minor fracture in his head when he fell off a forklift that was hoisting him on to a stage during an election campaign meeting here.
Imran, 60, fell from the forklift along with his security guards from 14-15 feet height after a sudden imbalance of the wood planks on the lifter due to an increase in weight as his security personnel accompanied him towards the stage.
Footage on television showed a dazed Khan, blood streaming from a wound on his head, being carried to a vehicle by several of his supporters.
