Prince Philip involved in car crash

[aguero93:20]

Apparently the doctor who examined him and pronounced him ‘fine’, did add that he wasn’t able to detect signs of a brain.

Bet you he didn't check in the torso though, that's where the reptilians keep their brains while they're in human form.

Any news on what actually happened?

The Duke of Edinburgh has "exchanged well-wishes" with the other people involved in his car crash near Sandringham Estate, Buckingham Palace says.

A palace spokeswoman confirmed he had been in contact with the occupants of the Kia involved in the collision - two women who were injured, and a baby.

Prince Philip - whose Land Rover overturned in the accident - visited hospital on Friday morning on doctor's advice but has "no injuries of concern", she added.

"This confirmed His Royal Highness had no injuries of concern. The Duke has returned to Sandringham.

"Contact has been made privately with the passengers in the other car and well-wishes exchanged."

The 97-year-old duke was lifted out of his Land Rover after a "horrendous" crash just before 3pm on Thursday.

Norfolk Police - which is investigating the crash - said the driver of the Kia, a 28-year-old woman, suffered cuts to her knee while her passenger, a 45-year-old woman, sustained a broken wrist.

A nine-month-old baby boy was also in the car but was uninjured, police said.

Mr Warne, 75, told how Philip was "shaken up" and was "asking if anyone was hurt" after the crash on the junction of the B1349 and the A149.

Roy Warne said he had some of the royal's blood on his hands after helping free Philip from the wreckage.

"He didn't seem to be in pain, I think he was pretty clearly concerned and very shocked in the circumstances," Mr Warne said.

"It was a horrendous accident, it's just amazing that nobody was seriously injured."

He continued: "He's a very old man and he was obviously very shaken up."

Both injured women were treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn and were discharged on Thursday night.

A replacement Land Rover was pictured being delivered to Sandringham on Friday.

Norfolk Council has said a 50mph speed limit will now be imposed on the A149 and speed cameras will be installed.

There were 40 accidents in the area, including five fatalities, between May 2012 and May 2018.

Nick Freeman, the lawyer dubbed Mr Loophole for helping celebrities accused of speeding offences, has said the duke could be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention if he was deemed to have made a mistake.

But he added: "If the sun was so low and right in your eyes, sometimes it's impossible to see, and that may well have been the case and that would afford him a defence."

What’s the chance of being in an accident involving Phil and then being treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. lol.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It takes them four months to issue a premises licence and one day to authorise new speed cameras. Someone needs to have a look at that.

 

[sir baconface]

I didn't realise it worked that way.

It doesn’t.

So when its impossible to see anything, just pull out and everything will be ok.

Let's get your Tyrant Queen to apply for a premises licence and see how long it takes before it's issued.

You realise in those circumstances that's basically what drivers do? It's that or sit there till the sun goes down.

If only there was something you could wear to dim the sunlight. Something close to your eyes.

No, you let your eyes adjust otherwise it’s reckless driving.

Blindfold?

 

[Henkeman]

No, you let your eyes adjust otherwise it’s reckless driving.

There are some low sun circumstances that doesn't apply to. Anyone pretending they stop the car is lying.

If only that always worked.

The law doesn’t see it that way as far as I know, that’s from someone from the AA don’t know enough about myself.

I know what the law says. But every single one of us takes a risk. We've all driven when the sun is low and we can't see a thing. Do we stop and wait for half an hour? No. We carry on and assume we'll be ok. We slow down a bit, sure. But let's not pretend we're all compliant here. We're just not.

He was pulling out onto a main carriage way as far as I know, not quite the same thing as just carrying on, would you do it with your eyes shut and hope for the best ?

Not without a few drinks for courage first.

We don't know what the circumstances here are. I'm making an observation about how things are. People are quite happy to assume wrongdoing and quote the law as though they abide by it themselves. They just don't.

Let's take that example: at a junction, low sun. Sit there and wait for it to set or do your best and go? Anyone claiming the former I will call a liar.
