Former CM of Uttarakhand and senior Congress leader, Harish Rawat narrowly escaped after his car met with an accident near MIT College on Meerut-Delhi-Dehradun Highway. The accident took place on Saturday and Harish Rawat's condition is stable.

According to ANI information, the politician's car collided with another vehicle and its bonnet got severely damaged.  Reports indicate Rawat was driving when a vehicle swerved in front of him near Kankerkheda.
