Digital Desk: In an unfortunate
incident, celebrated Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds died in a car accident
on Hervey Range Road near the Alice River Bridge in Queensland, Australia, when
his car left the road and rolled, a Queensland police statement said on
Saturday night.

tragic blow to Australian cricket. Symonds is the third Australian cricket
legend to suddenly pass away this year, following the tragic deaths of Shane
Warne and Rod Marsh in March.

senior cricket journalist Robert Craddock, the Aussie all-rounder met with the
accident about 50km outside Townsville on Saturday night.

police statement, Symonds was in a single-car crash at about 10:30 pm.
Following the accident
report, paramedics arrived at the scene but could not revive the former
Australian cricketer. Symonds was the only person in the car.
Many are left anguished
with tweets expressing shock over Symonds' death. Australian cricket coach and
former cricketer Jason Neil Gillespie expressed shock over the news of Symonds'
death. "Horrendous news to wake up to," he tweeted, "Utterly
devastated." We are all going to miss you, mate. "Former teammate and
Fox Cricket colleague Adam Gilchrist wrote, "This hurts."
Symonds played 26 Tests
for Australia and was an integral part of Australia's white-ball sides that
dominated the world between 1999 and 2007.
