The accident occurred around 3 pm local time (10 am ET) on a public road near Queen's Estate Sandringham in Norfolk, police said. Images of the scene showed Philip's vehicle lying on its side, surrounded by debris.
Another image shows that the vehicle has suffered significant damage to the front left door – the opposite of where the driver is in the UK – and to a large part of the side.
The other driver involved in the collision "suffered cuts while the pbadenger was injured on the arm, both requiring treatment at the hospital," police said in a statement.
Both drivers were subjected to "service policy" breath tests, which they both pbaded.
As a result of the collision, Philip saw a doctor at Queen Sandringham Estate, where he was staying with the monarch.
The crash dominated tabloid coverage in the UK on Thursday, as the Daily Mail and Sun ran their websites. The Daily Telegraph, a conservative large-format newspaper, also played the shock, with a headline highlighting Philip's "miracle escape".
However, questions were raised as to whether the Prince – five months after his 98th birthday – was still driving.
"The decision to hang up your keys is a difficult decision, but it should be based on the personal advice of your GP and your family rather than an arbitrary age.We all age differently and the car is an essential lifeline for many elderly people. "
On Twitter, the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, offered a prayer for Philip and "the people who were in the car involved in the road accident".
He retired more than five years after Buckingham Palace had initially announced his intention to reduce his workload, although he remained eager to continue to carry out many of his tasks.
CNN's James Frater and Bharati Naik contributed to this report.
