An individual drove out of a side road/lane and was tee boned by a car driving on the main carrigeway

A speed limit of 60mph on the main carriageway

No anecdotal descriptions neccessary the pics show it all.

when you drive onto a main road, from a drive all traffic has right of way, its a slam dunk guys.

It could happen to you, me or anybody else at any time regardless of age.

Pretty much my view. The reported broken arm probably counts as a serious injury but in reality is likely to repair as nature intended. Exactly the sort of accident that would have been fatal 40 or 50 years ago but in modern crash worthy vehicles and with everybody belted in survivable without anyone's life being changed.

If eyesight or any other age related factor was responsible then presumably the investigation will discover this. Should such a thing be established he might avoid his wife prosecuting him by voluntarily surrendering his licence, as might anyone else of his age in a similar accident.

OTOH any of us, at any age, can have a moments inattention or 'look but not see'. The latter phenomenon is in part down to how our eyes work and is why it's a good idea to move your head about and scan the view properly.

Junctions where the angle is not 90 to the other road cause a major problem. Several around here and I approach with caution. Doesn't matter who has the right of way when you're dead!

I suppose the problem is HRH is quite an independent sort and quite forceful too. Who will put it to him that he may need to cease from driving himself? He always seems fairly alert and this incident may well have happened to anyone but I think he needs to think about this now.

At least there were no serious injuries.
