Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre’s crash claim contradicted

Thursday, 3 April 2025

An Australian school bus driver involved in a crash with Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre that allegedly left her with days to live is contradicting her story.

Giuffre, who has accused the Duke of York of sexually assaulting her as a teenager, posted on Instagram this week that she was dying from kidney renal failure after being hit by a school bus travelling at nearly 112kph.

The post included a picture of Giuffre, 41, apparently in a hospital bed in Western Australia, covered in bruises.

But bus driver Ross Munns has told the Daily Mail that the collision was minor, and that the crash happened as he tried to pass another vehicle.

Munns claimed that that car was being driven by an older woman, who was the only person in the car, but a police report said there was also a 41-year-old passenger in the car.

He told the Mail the crash was “minor” and he only clipped the car, damaging its tail-light. When he checked on the driver, she was not injured. There were 29 children on the bus who he said weren’t injured either.

He decided to report the incident to police as he felt the circumstances were “a little bit suss”. Munns also told the Mail he later rang the driver who told him there had been someone else in the car who was left with a black eye.

He was shocked when he saw Giuffre’s post. “I just laughed… There is no way you could get that injury if you were in that car,” he told the Mail.

“It’s just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened. I didn’t even see her in the car,” he told the Mail.

Days after her original post, Giuffre’s team issued a statement saying she’d shared it accidentally.

“Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care. On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding. The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene,” the statement said.

“They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital.

“The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later,” it goes on.

“Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home. Virginia's condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital. Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page.

“Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.”

Guiffre lives in Perth, where she moved with her now estranged husband Robert.
