Photos: Prince Harry convoy involved in a car crash + CCTV footage


                                           A witness said Harry was spotted with his head in his hands, cacern 'etched on his face'

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.

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.

                           Invictus

According to one witness the prince’s Range Rover, which was taking him to an Invictus Games event in north London, took immediate evasive action.

The driver, apparently fearing a potential terrorist attack, expertly steered through the damaged vehicles at speed before coming to a stop a several hundred feet up the road. See photos of the accident after the cut...



                             CCTV footage obtained exclusively by the Mail appears to show the minicab driving down a side street, stopping at the junction


                              The car then pulls right across the main road ¿ straight into the path of the police motorbike, which was on the wrong side of the road


                             The motorbike became wedged into the bonnet of the white car and police and ambulance were called to the scene

                             The witness said: ¿The first thing that struck me was the motorbike rider in his high visibility jacket lying prone on the ground. He had been put in the recovery position and had his helmet off'

                             The police outrider, pictured, was catapulted 30ft down the road after the collision, which took place as the Prince was on his way to the Invictus Games

                             Last night the rider from the Special Escort Group, who rode the motorbike, was discharged from hospital, while the driver of the Toyota was said to be in a ¿stable¿ condition 

                             A source on the scene said the police were 'fantastic' and sped into action, assessing those who were injured and treating them until the ambulances arrived
