PRINCE PHILIP, 97, GIVES UP DRIVING AFTER ACCIDENT

-

LONDON» Prince Philip has decided to stop driving at the age of 97, less than a month after he was involved in a collision that left two women injured, Buckingham Palace announced Saturday.

Prosecutor­s said they would consider the decision as they decide whether to charge the husband of Queen Elizabeth II in connection to the Jan. 17 crash.

Philip was behind the wheel of a Land Rover near the royal family’s Sandringha­m estate in eastern England when he smashed into another car. Philip had to be helped out of his overturned vehicle but wasn’t injured. Two women in the other car were injured, though not seriously, and a 9month-old boy was unhurt.

Philip was photograph­ed driving again two days later, without a seat belt. — The Associated Press
