Diana Jury Told Of 'Bump' With Second Car
Witnesses have told the inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed that the couple's car may have 'bumped' another vehicle shortly before the fatal crash.
Speaking via video-link from Paris, Jean-Claude Catheline and his wife Annick told the inquest at the High Court that they saw two cars enter the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in the French capital side-by-side.
Both cars were travelling quickly and that they heard the sound of a collision as they walked under the underpass entrance on August 31, 1997. Moments later, they said that they heard the screech of tyres.
The couple had been returning to their car from the Eiffel Tower at the time the crash occurred and were accompanied by their daughter Marie-Agnes and her boyfriend - now husband - David Le Ny.
Mr Le Ny also said that he saw a large dark car speeding towards them in the tunnel and said that it was going "very fast".
