Prince Kardam of Bulgaria is in a critical condition after a traffic accident yesterday afternoon in El Molar (Madrid). His wife, Doña Miriam Ungria y López, was also injured. The accident occurred at around 2.50pm yesterday afternoon on the Madrid-bound carriageway of the N-1 (km 42) when the couple's Jaguar veered off the road, then collided with a tree before flipping over onto its roof. The prince, who has lived his whole life in exile in Madrid, sustained severe head injuries as well as "catastrophic" damage to both hands, which doctors will probably have to amputate. Princess Miriam is believed to be much less seriously injured, but suffered a broken elbow as well as extensive bruising. Prince Kardam is the eldest child of former prime minister of the Bulgarian Republic, Tsar Simeon II, and Doña Margarita Gómez Acebo y Cejuela. After achieving a degree in economics from an American university, Kardam married in 1996 and has since fathered two sons. Bulgaria abolished its monarchy in 1946.
