Britain's Prince William came to the aid of badly injured car accident victims following a night out. The 27-year-old prince made his vehicle stop after a car and van collided head-on in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Although William - whose mother Princess Diana passed away in 1997 after a fatal car accident in Paris - was banned from leaving his limousine to help because of strict anti-kidnap rules, he ordered his protection team, who are all trained in first aid, to help the victims until an ambulance arrived.

A source said: "William saw the crash and was anxious to help but his personal protection officers would not let him get out in case it was a trap. Instead, he ensured they used their first aid skills to help."

"His mother died in a car crash and there was no way he would have let his people leave before making sure everyone was being treated."

The family in the car - the 23-year-old driver, her sister, 26, and 28-year-old brother - were treated in hospital for neck and knee injuries and cuts, but were stunned by the help they received in the aftermath of the crash.

Another source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The victims said that when the accident happened they were immediately surrounded by about ten people from four vehicles. They couldn't believe the response."
