Prince Philip has escaped unharmed from a car crash that left his vehicle overturned, according to Buckingham Palace.

The Duke of Edinburgh, 97, was driving a Range Rover out of a driveway near the Queen’s Sandringham estate, north of London, when it collided with another car, the BBC reported Thursday. Bystanders helped the British prince from the wreckage, telling the outlet he was not hurt, only “shocked and shaken.”
