The Mercedes S280 and the Princess in the Pondelama Tunnel

This is the story determined to be factual by police inquest and accepted as the truth by the mainstream public. Shortly after midnight, Diana, Dodie, Trevor Reese-Jones, and Henri-Paul get into the Mercedes S280. Within minutes, the paparazzi realize where the princess is and 10 journalists in five cars, two motorbikes and three scooters follow their car taking photos. Over the previous 15 years, the tunnel had seen 34 crashes, resulting in eight deaths - not an unusually high number but a precedent for danger.
