Queen Elizabeth’s 97-year-old husband, Prince Philip, has escaped uninjured from a car crash that overturned the car he was driving on Thursday near the royal Sandringham estate in eastern England.
Police said two people in a car that collided with the Range Rover driven by the prince, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, were both taken to hospital for minor injuries but later discharged.
Pictures from the scene showed a Range Rover overturned on the side of the road. The accident occurred when Philip was pulling out of a driveway onto a main road, the BBC reported.
He was helped out of the vehicle by witnesses who told the BBC the duke was “very, very shocked” and shaken, but conscious.
