Kolkata, Oct 18 (IBNS): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew and Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee, who was seriously injured in a car crash on Tuesday afternoon, is stable and out of danger, doctors said in the late evening.

When Banerjee was returning from a mass rally in Murshidabad district of West Bengal in the afternoon, his convoy met an accident on Durgapur Expressway near Singur in Hooghly district and his SUV overturned, after smashing into another vehicle.

Few of his security personnel were also injured in the mishap.

After being rescued, the president of Yuva Trinamool was rushed to Kolkata and has been admitted in Bellevue Clinic here.

Several leaders of state's ruling party and ministers, including CM Mamata Banerjee, visited him at the hospital.

Forensic experts and a team of West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) visited the scene and have started investigation into the mishap.

According to the doctors, no internal injury was found in Abhishek's head and a medical team, comprising of 14 specialist doctors, will keep him under 72 hours observation.
