Richmond premiership star Bachar Houli has been airlifted back to Melbourne after being injured in a serious car crash near Canberra.
Houli is believed to have broken his pelvis and sustained several other fractures after a camping trip went wrong.
It is understood a ute Houli was in rolled over during the accident.
Three-time premiership star Houli retired at the end of 2021 with 232 games - including 26 at Essendon and 206 at Richmond.
He is believed to have been in the ute with a friend who was also seriously injured.
Houli was transported to a Canberra hospital but then airlifted back to Victoria for further treatment.
Richmond is aware of the incident but could not provide any details on Sunday night.
Houli has long spoken of his love of camping in remote areas where he hunts and fishes with friends. The third muslim to play AFL football, Houli has been an inspiration for young Australian Muslims and established the Bachar Houli Foundation in 2019.
The non-for-profit foundation develops young leaders within the Muslim community with a sense of belonging through football development.

Sure can be.! Life threatening.Fractured hips can be very serious injuries. Major arteries run through the hip and the prospect of internal bleeding is very serious
The report said he has been airlifted from the Canberra hospital to Melbourne for further treatment. I’m not sure if that’s good news or bad.Sure can be.! Life threatening.
Thanks BR.Trust me, he's battered and broken and faces a long road back to whatever his new physical normal will be, but as things stand now he isn't going to die or anything close to that.
