1999: United Kingdom: French Judges Blame Driver for Princess Diana's Death
Concluding a two-year investigation, two French judges ruled on September 3, 1999, that the August 1997 deaths of Diana, princess of Wales, and her companion, Emad Mohamed al-Fayed, were caused solely by an intoxicated driver. The 32-page ruling cleared nine photographers and a press motorcyclist of charges that they provoked the accident in Paris, France, by chasing the couple in their chauffeur-driven limousine.
The accident occurred in the early morning hours of August 31 after Diana and al-Fayed, known as Dodi, left the Ritz Hotel. The limousine, traveling at high speed, crashed into a concrete pillar in a tunnel near the Seine River. Diana, al-Fayed, and Henri Paul, the vehicle's driver, were killed in the crash; a bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, survived with severe injuries. The photographers and press motorcyclist, who acknowledged following the couple through the streets of Paris prior to the accident, were charged with manslaughter and failing to come to the aid of the accident victims.
The judges blamed the accident on Paul, who had taken antidepressant medication and was legally intoxicated. “The driver was in a state of drunkenness and under the influence of medicines incompatible with alcohol, a state which prevented him from keeping control of his vehicle while he was driving at high speed on a difficult section of road,” the judges wrote.
The judges found no evidence that the photographers caused the accident or failed to assist the victims at the accident scene. However, they criticized the conduct of several photographers who snapped pictures of the wrecked vehicle and its occupants before emergency personnel arrived. Although this behavior raised moral and ethical concerns, the judges noted, it was “not a breach of penal law.” The ruling affirmed the findings of a police investigation that a mysterious white automobile, which apparently grazed the limousine immediately prior to the accident and was never found, was traveling in the same direction as the limousine and was not responsible for the accident. |
