Queen Elizabeth II was nearly involved in a car crash today, it has emerged. She was in the passenger seat of her black Range Rover when her driver was forced to swerve off-road to avoid crashing into oncoming traffic.
As the Range Rover pulled out of the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, it nearly collided with a white car, believed to be a Nissan Juke. The white car had to swerve and stop, while the Queen's Range Rover was forced onto the grass next to the road, according to the Express.
A passer-by said the Queen was "very lucky", as cars in the area often travel much faster than the Nissan was on this occasion. They said: "The Range Rover should have stopped at the junction to let the car go by. We sometimes get cars going much faster along that road so the Queen was very lucky."
