Princess Diana was on holiday in France with Dodi and it is reported that Henri Paul, the driver of the car, approached the entrance of the tunnel at a speed of 70mph when the speed limit was 30mph.
Reports say that Henri lost control of the car and crashed into a pillar in the middle of the tunnel. Henri and Dodi were pronounced dead at the scene and Diana was rushed to the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital.
It is believed Diana had a concussion, a broken arm, a cut thigh, and two serious chest injuries. Doctors operated for two hours to save her life but were unable to get Diana's heart beating properly again.
The Princess never regained consciousness and she passed away on August 31, 1997. It is widely believed that a seatbelt would have saved Diana's life.
