‘No injuries reported’ in crash believed to involve Prince Andrew accuser, say police

Police say there were “no injuries reported” in a car crash believed to involve Virginia Guiffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, who claimed an accident left her with only days to live.

Ms Guiffre, who also accused the Duke of York of sexually assaulting her as a teenager, said on Sunday that she was dying from kidney renal failure after being hit by a school bus travelling at nearly 70mph.

Police in Western Australia, where Ms Guiffre lives, confirmed to The Telegraph a “minor crash” occurred between a bus and car in the farming locality of Neergabby, located about 12 miles north of Perth, on March 24 just after 3pm local time.

However, Kylie Whiteley, Acting Western Australia Police Commissioner, said no injuries were reported.

“There were no reported injuries as a result of the crash,” the Western Australia police spokesman said in a statement.

The collision was reported by the bus driver the following day and the car sustained approximately $2000 AUD (£968) worth of damage, police said.

It has not been officially confirmed that this is the crash Ms Guiffre claims she was involved in.

After the incident, posting a picture of herself lying in a hospital bed, with her face covered in bruises, the 41-year-old expressed a deep wish to see her three children, from whom she is believed to be estranged.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.”

Sky Roberts, Ms Giuffre’s father, told The Telegraph on Monday that his daughter was depressed and wanted to be reunited with her children.

“She’s not doing good. She’s depressed because she misses her kids,” the Florida-based retired engineer added. “She’s got four days unless she gets another opinion from another doctor.

“It could be that she could pass away in four days, like she said. But if she gets another doctor, they could probably do other things for her. So that’s all I’m waiting to hear.”

Mr Roberts said he was trying to “stay strong” for his daughter, whose last known address was with her husband whom she is now separated from in Western Australia. Ms Guiffre recently separated from Robert Giuffre, her husband of 22 years. She is believed to have been living in a small town north of Perth since 2020.

A spokesman for Ms Giuffre on Monday said: “Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”

Ms Guiffre spent decades speaking out about the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2021, she filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew accusing him of raping her when she was 17 after Epstein and his long-time accomplice and lover Ghislane Maxwell trafficked her to London.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking in 2021. A year later, Ms Guiffre agreed to an out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew, understood to be worth millions of pounds. The joint statement contained no admission of liability.

The Duke has always denied the allegations, insisting he has “no recollection” of meeting Ms Giuffre and questioning the authenticity of an infamous picture of them together in 2001.

After the settlement, Ms Guiffre retreated from public life and was reported to be briefly under a one-year gag order.

A week ago, Ms Giuffre posted online about how much she missed her children.

“My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies,” she wrote. “I miss them so very much. I have been through hell & back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else.”
