Prince Philip voluntarily quits driving

LONDON: Prince Philip has surrendered his driving licence as prosecutors consider whether to bring charges over a crash that injured two women.

Prince Philip (97) voluntarily gave up his credentials to Norfolk Police yesterday.

Police said a file on the investigation into the crash had been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.

A CPS statement said the file would be reviewed before a decision on whether a charge would be brought, and noted that prosecutors ‘‘will take this development into account’’.

On January 17 Prince Philip’s car flipped over after he pulled out into a busy road and collided with a Kia, carrying a 9monthold boy, his mother and another passenger.

He escaped injury, but passenger Emma Fairweather broke her wrist and called for the duke to be prosecuted if he was found to be at fault. — BPA
