Longy, Yet reports l have read say, he was dazzled by the sun.

If my calculations are correct, he would have been facing East (to get to Sandringham) to cross the A149, which runs North/South at Babingly .....

I should think it will be hushed up, at least as much as possible.

All "reports" will have to be investigated by the police but if he was dazzled, while facing East, it may have been a reflection off a vehicle waiting in the opposing junction .....

Re: Prince Philip hurt in car crash,

Many years ago when I was just a girl I had a small run in with Prince Phillip in Windsor Great Park .
I was driving a Land Rover and so was he.
I reached a muddy rotted track before him and splashed through it .
It wasn't only when the driver shouted out of the window 'b****dy girl ' I realised who it was .
Well he shouldn't have had his window down !
