Witness Roy Warne, 75, said of the smash near Sandringham, Norfolk: “It was frightening to see."

Mr Warne also told how Prince Philip said he was “dazzled by the sun” at a T-junction before his Land Rover hit another car carrying a mother and baby.

He said The Duke of Edinburgh was pulled from the wreckage “conscious” but “very, very shocked and shaken”.

Prince Philip was breathalysed by police following the horrific smash.

Barrister Roy, 75, who was first at the scene, helped to free the “disorientated” royal from his motor, which had overturned.

He heard the Duke later admit to cops he had been “dazzled by the sun”.

Roy was driving home with his wife Victoria, 72, shortly before 3pm and saw the Land Rover flip a split-second after the collision.

Prince Philip was trapped inside and told rescuers: “My legs! Where should I put my legs?”

'I HAD THE PRINCE'S BLOOD ON MY HANDS'

But he was not thought to have suffered any serious injuries — and was at the Queen’s side, resting at their Sandringham estate.

Philip will be monitored by doctors in the coming days as they look for signs of internal injuries.

Roy said: “I saw the car flip and thought f*****g hell.

“Before I even stopped I said to Victoria, dial 999.”

Roy helped Philip out of his overturned Land Rover.

He said: “I looked down and had the Prince’s blood on my hands.

“All I could think is, thank goodness there wasn’t more.”

Another witness told the Philip seemed "distraught" and it was a "miracle" he escaped uninjured.

It is believed the Land Rover drove out from a T-junction on Queen Elizabeth Way and was struck by a Kia people carrier with two women and a ten-month-old screaming baby inside.

The driver of the blue Kia told Victoria: “That could have been a disaster.”

Roy said the Land Rover “came across the A149 like a somersault. It was turning on its side over and over”. He added: “It was frightening to see a powerful car rolling like that.

“I rushed to the other car — there was smoke coming out as if it may explode. There was a baby in the back seat screaming.

DAZZLED BY THE SUN

“Once myself and another chap had managed to pull the baby out, I went to the overturned car.

“There was one elderly person inside and I tugged at the smashed windscreen and sun roof to try and get the driver out.

“He was lying on his side and his legs were down in the well of the car. I asked him to lift his left leg as his legs were trapped, and he said ‘Where to?’

“I suddenly realised it was Prince Philip.

“As he lifted his left leg, there was room for his right leg to move.

“I reached into the car, put my hands under his armpits and gently eased him out.

Witness Roy said he saw Prince Philip's car flip and thought 'f*****g hell'

“He stood up and was unharmed but was obviously very shocked.

“He was disorientated and humbled. I believe he was very sorry about what had happened. The sun was very low in the sky. Considering his age he got off much better than the people in the other car.”

Buckingham Palace said the Duke was not injured but had seen a doctor as a precaution.

One of the women in the other car suffered a suspected broken arm, the other had an injured knee. The baby boy was miraculously unharmed.

Roy, of Thornham near Hunstanton, said: “I went to the ladies’ car first as I thought the tank was going to go up in flames and take the baby with it.

“His mother, who had been driving, was understandably hysterical.

“She did very well. She managed to steer her car into the ditch.”

Roy was driving Victoria from a hospital appointment in King’s Lynn.

She had just been given the all-clear for breast cancer.

He added: “It’s certainly a day we will remember.”

Duke of hazard

THE Duke’s crash yesterday is not the first time he has been in a prang.

Philip left a driver with whiplash after his Range Rover went into the back of a Mercedes at a zebra crossing in Brandon, Suffolk, in January 1996.

Sales director Pat Daynes, whose car had £1,000 of damage, said: “I was leading a normal life. Then whack, I’m part of a royal soap opera.”

'THERE WAS A BABY SCREAMING'

A spokesman for Norfolk Police confirmed said: “The male driver of the Land Rover was uninjured.

“The female driver of the Kia suffered cuts while the female passenger sustained an arm injury, both requiring hospital treatment.

“We can confirm both casualties have been treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn and have since been discharged.

“It is force policy to breath test drivers involved in collisions. We can confirm both drivers were tested and provided negative readings.”

Prince Philip retired from public life in August 2017 after decades supporting the Queen and attending events for his own charities and organisations.

Despite undergoing a hip replacement last year he has continued driving.

Prince Charles had previously told of his concern about his dad's getting behind the wheel.

In June 2014 the Prince of Wales told a D-Day veteran's son he was worried about the fact the Duke was still driving a car.
