At Least it's Knocked Brexit Off The Top Headline Spot

But it is another calamity - just not a calamitous.

Prince Philip has rolled a Range Rover.

Only onto its side and 4x4s are known for rolling over but he is 97 years old so you have to give him some credit.

Here's the picture:
And here is the BBC story.
 
Only minor injuries and they weren't sustained by The Duke so the BBC are happy.
 
Their report states that he was pulling out of a driveway onto the A149 when the accident happened.  They also report that two people in the other vehicle - a saloon car - were treated for minor injuries, according to reports from Norfolk Police.
 
Norfolk again - what is it about Norfolk?
That's not a driveway - it's a road junction.  Unless it's a very wide driveway  - the sort owned by Royalty.
 
And I'm not seeing a saloon car in that aftermath photo.  There is a VW Sharan/Ford Galaxy/Seat Alhambra people-carrier there though that looks like it may have been a bit involved.
 
I can't figure out how those vehicles would have ended up in those positions.  Someone was speeding?  Someone was trying to kill a pheasant in the road?  Someone was trying to kill a peasant in the road?
 
Will we ever know?
 
I suppose that depends on who was to blame.
