PRINCE Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre’s family has hit back at police after they raised questions about a horror crash that left her “four days” from death.

The 41-year-old, who was trafficked by billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was seen with visible bruises following the smash near her home in Western Australia.

She said the impact triggered kidney failure, sparking fears for her life.

But cops cast serious doubt on the crash in Neergabby, north of Perth – confirming it was “minor” with no injuries reported.

The puzzling police update has since caused fury from Virginia’s loved ones.

In a statement released to The Mirror, her family said: “Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude. 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.

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

The statement continued: “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. 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.”

Her estranged father Sky Roberts, speaking from Florida, added: “I’m sick to my stomach.”

Virginia, who was sex trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and famously accused Prince Andrew of abusing her when she was 17, previously posted a bruised selfie from her hospital bed on Instagram.

The survivor told her followers she was being transferred to a specialist hospital for treatment.

“They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” she wrote.

“I think it’s important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.

“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.”

Virginia’s spokesperson confirmed she was receiving medical care after the incident and 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.”

Brad Edwards, her former US lawyer, said: “We’re hoping for better news in the coming days,” adding it was a “very bad situation” and he hoped she “would pull through with good medical care”.

In the wake of her hospital plea, Prince Andrew’s ex Lady Victoria Hervey sparked fury with a cruel taunt on Instagram – betting that Virginia won’t die from her injuries.

She wrote: “If Virginia Giuffre really does have days to live, then a complete confession is needed.

“I don’t believe it though, the FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are coming. She’s conveniently dying to evade jail.

“I think it’s time that Robert Giuffre, who has custody of their teenage children, to speak.”

But Hervey didn’t stop there.

She re-posted a hospital photo of Virginia with the word “karma” slapped across it.

Instead of apologising for the cruel jab, Hervey doubled down, saying: “Virginia Giuffre is a fantasist. It’s been a long drawn out process these last few years, but it’s unravelling.

“Her lies are being exposed. Let’s see in three days, but I bet she will still be alive,” she told the Daily Mail.

Hervey went further, accusing Virginia of “the fake photo and all her con jobs”, referencing the infamous image with the Duke of York and Ghislaine Maxwell in the background — which Maxwell previously claimed was faked.

In her last post before the accident Virginia shared a heartbreaking message alongside smiling snaps with her three children.

The mum wrote on Instagram: “My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies.

“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. Hurt me, abuse me but don’t take my babies.

“My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.”

Virginia and Robert, a martial arts instructor, split recently after 22 years of marriage.

She now claims to be estranged from her children.

Virginia sued Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming she was trafficked and forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions when she was a teen.

The royal has always denied the allegations but settled out of court in 2022, reportedly paying millions to avoid a humiliating trial.

Despite saying he severed ties with Epstein in 2010, emails released earlier this year show Andrew contacted him in 2011, telling the paedo financier: “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon.”

Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in the abuse.
