Title: "Prince Flips Out In Classic T-Bird"
Written By: Karen Thomas

He should've taken the limo.

His royal highness, Prince, flipped his vintage T-bird last week, and 'bumped his nose," says his spokewoman, Jill Willis.

"He was fine. He walked away unscathed, " she assures.

Wednesday evening, around 9 p.m. the singer was driving his beloved classic car from his home to downtown Minneapolis. "He was going around a curve too fast, " explains Willis, "and the car flipped.... It was close to his house."

Fortunately, a friend following His Purpleness was in the car immediately behind him. Willis says police were called to the scene, but no citations were issued.

As for the classic auto - it was towed away, and is "probably" totaled, Willis says.
