A replacement Land Rover was delivered to Sandringham Estate one day afterPrince Philip’scar crash in Norfolk.
The vehicle, which is an exact replica as the car Philip was driving on Thursday, is believed to be the same Land Rover he drives when he’s staying at the royal family’s residence in Scotland, Balmoral Castle.
The black Land Rover Freelander arrived inside a delivery truck on Friday morning and was driven into Sandringham Estate, where the Duke of Edinburgh has been staying withQueen Elizabethsince before Christmas.

The 97-year-old royal was uninjured, although those who were on-hand said there was blood at the scene after Philip overturned his Land Rover.
“It was an astonishing escape for everyone,” Roy Warne, a retired lawyer, told reporters outside his home in Norfolk on Friday, adding that it appeared as if there “had been extraordinarily severe injuries. But fortunately the injuries were very light. People could have been killed the impact must have been enormous.”
Philip was able to stand after he was helped out of the flipped vehicle.
“There was a little bit of blood and one of the royal entourage gave me a wipe to wipe my hands,” Warne said.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
“As is standard procedure with injury collisions, the incident will be investigated and any appropriate action taken,” police in Norfolk said. “We are aware of the public interest in this case, however, as with any other investigation it would be inappropriate to speculate on the causes of the collision until an investigation is carried out.”
