One of the reports who was at the scene of the accident told FIVE radio that she could “see that there’s a lot of brake marks on the road from where his car veered off before it eventually rolled”.

“At this stage police still have no idea why he left the road,” she added. “One rumour that’s going around by locals is he may have swerved to miss an animal but everything’s under investigation at the moment.”

A witness told Courier-Mail that along with Andrew Symonds were his two dogs who didn’t want to leave him.

“One of them was very sensitive and didn’t want to leave him,” she said. “It would just growl at you every time we tried to move him or go near him.” She then expressed how her partner tried helping Symonds but he wasn’t responding. She said, “My partner tried to get (Symonds) out of the car, to put him on to his back. He was unconscious, not responsive and had no pulse.”

In his illustrious career, Andrew Symonds played 26 Tests, 198 ODIs, and 14 T20Is for Australia. He amassed close to 7000 international runs and also claimed 150 wickets. Besides, he also played for Mumbai and Hyderabad in the Indian T20 League.
