Prince Harry Involved in High-Speed Crash (Photos)

Prince Harry was caught up in a dramatic high-
speed crash yesterday when one of his police
outriders smashed head-on into a taxi as the royal's
motorcade headed to an official engagement.
DailyMail reports that according to a cyclist, who
wishes to remain anonymous, he had seen Prince
Harry's convoy of two blacked-out Range Rovers and
four motorbike outriders pass him at 'incredibly high
speed'.
He said:
'I decided to speed up to see if I could catch up with
them. I really wanted to know who it was. I didn't see
the actual crash but came across it just seconds after
it had happened. There was debris everywhere, steam
coming out of the car bonnet. It was carnage.'
CCTV footage obtained exclusively by the Mail
showed the minicab driving down a side street,
stopping at the junction and then pulling right
across the main road – straight into the path of the
police motorbike, which was on the wrong side of the
road. Pictures taken in the aftermath of the accident
in central London show the police motorbike
embedded in the white Toyota Prius, as the driver lies
slumped in his seat surrounded by deployed airbags.
The fourth in line to the throne had looked on in
shock as his bodyguards treated both the
unconscious driver – who had to be cut free from the
wreckage by firemen – and the police rider,
catapulted 30ft down the road.
The prince's Range Rover was taking him to an
Invictus Games event in north London when the
accident occurred. The rider from the Special Escort
Group was discharged from hospital, while the driver
was said to be in a 'stable' condition.
