Police and ambulance crews attended the scene and two people in one of the vehicles suffered minor injuries. A doctor did look at the Duke following the accident as a precaution and confirmed that he was not injured. With Prince Philip and the Queen having spent the last few weeks on the Sandringham Estate, they have been able to spend some private quality time together. They are expected to stay there until early February, as it is tradition to mark the anniversary of the Queen's father's death in private.
