Police launch investigation into Prince Philip’s car crash

UK, (DAILY MAIL), 18 JANUARY 2019 - Police are today investigating the Duke of Edinburgh’s role in a horror car smash involving a baby and its mother as it was revealed the Queen’s husband was able to walk over and ask them: ‘Is everyone else alright?’.

The Kia that ploughed into him on the 60mph A-road was carrying a nine-monthold baby, its mother, 28, and another woman, 45, who suffered a broken arm and an injured knee, but the child was unhurt.

Philip is believed to have pulled out of a side-road, coming from Sandringham House, on to the busy A149 where the Kia, travelling at up to 60mph, struck his side of the 4X4 in a so-called ‘t-bone’ smash.

The Land Rover was flipped on to the passenger side, and then slid across the carriageway before ‘somersaulting’ back on to the driver’s side and coming to a halt on a grass verge.

Norfolk Police told Mailonline today, they were treating it like any other road traffic collision.

Images have emerged of a black Land Rover having rolled on its side following the crash with a people carrier (DM).
