Prince Harry’s Motorcade Crash: What Happened

Prince Harry's motorcade crash gave the Windsor castle a scare on Thursday, after the soon to be fifth in line to the British throne was involved in an accident on his way to the Invictus Game. However, the high-speed accident didn't involve the royal's automobile, a Range Rover.

The scare came as one of the police cars involved in Prince Harry's motorcade crashed into a Toyota Prius, throwing the official vehicle 30 feet down - the car's driver had to be cut free from the wreckage.

The rider of the official automobile involved in Prince Harry's motorcade crash is reported to be stable, and has been now released from hospital care, along with the other security officer that joined him in the vehicle.

According to a report by British publication The Telegraph, Harry tried to stop his car to see what he could do to help, but the security team in charge of his protection didn't allow him to. Prince Harry's motorcade crash gave a scare to the member of the Royal house, who inquired about the health of the people involved in the actual accident and was glad to see they had survived and were in stable condition.

The royal's convoy was headed to the Invictus Games, the first of their nature: an event based on the Paralympics idea, the games in it are organized for wounded soldiers, and currently feature representatives from 14 different countries including Iraq, Estonia and Denmark. They get their name from William Ernest Henley's poem, a favorite of Nelson Mandela.

The news of Prince Harry's motorcade crash comes just days after the Windsor castle announced the addition of a new member of the Royal family, as the Duchess of Cambridge (previously Kate Middleton) is expecting her second child with Prince William, after having given birth to Prince George last year. The newborn child, whatever gender he or she might be, would become the fourth in line to the throne of England, leaving Prince Harry as fifth.
