		</div><p>Poland&#8217;s prime minister is said to be in a &#8220;good condition&#8221; after being injured in a car crash in her home town.</p>
<p>Beata Szydlo was flown by helicopter to Warsaw for medical tests, but doctors and her spokesman said she was not badly hurt.</p>
<p>The accident happened shortly before 7pm on Friday in the southern town of Oswiecim, where the Nazis ran the Auschwitz death camp.</p>
<p>Ms Szydlo, 53, was travelling in a convoy along the town&#8217;s main road when another car struck her black Audi limousine, causing it to hit a tree.</p>
<p>Government spokesman Rafal Bochenek said Ms Szydlo was in &#8220;good condition&#8221; but had been flown 215 miles by helicopter to the government hospital in Warsaw for further monitoring and tests.</p>
<p>The car that hit the prime minister&#8217;s vehicle was a Fiat driven by a 21-year-old man who was sober, said police spokesman Sebastian Glen.</p>
<p>Two security officers, one of whom was the car&#8217;s driver, were also taken to a hospital with injuries.<br />
Dr Andrzej Jakubowski, who examined Ms Szydlo in the hospital in Oswiecim, a town of 40,000, said she was stable, conscious and &#8220;very strong&#8221; given the trauma.</p>
<p>Dr Jakubowski said she received some injuries but the prognosis was good.<br />
In Warsaw, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, head of the governing party Law and Justice, said during a speech to supporters: &#8220;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.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are with you, Beata. And we are convinced that after a short stay in the hospital you will be with us again, you will be at the head of the government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oswiecim is best known to the world by its German name, Auschwitz, where Nazi Germany ran the death camp in occupied Poland during the Second World War.</p>
<p>Today it is the site of a memorial and museum that draws large numbers of visitors.<br />
Poland&#8217;s interior minister called an emergency meeting with the leadership of the Government Protection Office, which protects and drives Ms Szydlo and other top figures and prosecutors also opened an investigation.</p>
<p>It is the latest in a string of road incidents involving top political figures.</p>
<p>In November, several vehicles in a Polish government convoy collided during a state visit to Israel.<br />
Ms Szydlo was not in one of those that collided but two other Polish officials received minor injuries.</p>
<p>In January, defence minister Antoni Macierewicz escaped uninjured from an eight-car collision.<br />
In March 2016, a limousine carrying President Andrzej Duda skidded into a grassy ditch after suffering a puncture. Mr Duda was unhurt.</p>
