Prince Philip, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh escaped unhurt after he was involved in an accident after his LandRover overturned on Thursday close to the Queen’s Sandringham Estate.
The 97-year-old Duke’ s car overturned following a collision with another vehicle on the A149 at Babingley, Norfolk.
According reports Prince Philip was trapped inside the car but was heard screaming and asking where he was to put his legs.
The eyewitnesses described the Prince as shocked and shaken after the crash and they told the BBC that they helped the duke out of the vehicle.
Reports now indicate that the Queen’s husband was “pulling out of a driveway onto the A149 when the accident happened”.
There was another person in the vehicle, thought to be a close protection officer, who was also unharmed.
Two people in the other car were treated for minor injuries, Norfolk Police said.
Dramatic pictures show the vehicle on its side after the nasty collision with another car just after 3pm today.
A man who witnessed the immediate aftermath of the smash said: “It looked really nasty. The whole front of it was smashed up and there were people there being questioned by police.”
A witness who drove past the scene at around 3.40pm told the BBC: “Obviously it (the vehicle) looked quite smashed in. I’m quite amazed he (the duke) is okay actually.”
Local police attended the scene. The duke was taken from the scene back to Sandringham where he was seen by a doctor who deemed him fit and in good health.
