Prime Minister Beata Szydlo suffered injuries in a car crash in southern Poland on Friday and was flown by helicopter to Warsaw for medical tests, even though doctors and her spokesman said that she was not badly hurt.
The accident occurred shortly before 7 p.m. in the southern town of Oswiecim, which is Szydlo's hometown. Szydlo, 53, was traveling in a convoy along the town's main road when another car drove into her black Audi limousine, causing it to hit a tree.
The state broadcaster TVP published an image of the limousine with the front of the car bashed in.
Government spokesman Rafal Bochenek said Szydlo was in "good condition" but had been transported 350 kilometers (215 miles) by helicopter to a government hospital in Warsaw for further monitoring and tests.
The car that hit the prime minister's vehicle was a small Fiat driven by a 21-year-old man who was sober, said Sebastian Glen, a police spokesman. Two security officers, one of whom was the car's driver, were also taken to a hospital with injuries.
Dr. Andrzej Jakubowski, who examined Szydlo in the hospital in Oswiecim, a town of 40,000, said she was stable and conscious all the time and was talking and "very strong" given the trauma. Jakubowski said Szydlo suffered some injuries to her body but that the prognosis is good.
In Warsaw, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the head of the governing party, Law and Justice, said during a speech to supporters that "I must start from the sad news that there has been a car accident in which the prime minister and Government Protection Bureau officers were seriously hurt."
