A bright light was flashed at Princess Diana's car moments before it crashed into a concrete pillar, a witness claimed yesterday.
A motorbike overtook the Mercedes inside the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris before a 'major white flash' like a police radar was directed at the car, Francois Levistre told the inquest into the princess's death.
The Mercedes veered across the carriageway several times before ploughing into the pillar, said Mr Levistre, who was driving in front of the princess's car through the underpass.
Other witnesses claimed to have seen a large dark car bump the Mercedes as it entered the tunnel at a 'crazy' speed moments before the crash, the inquest at the High Court in London heard.
Mohamed Al Fayed claims Diana and his son Dodi were murdered ten years ago in an Establishment plot ordered by Prince Philip. Mr Al Fayed says secret service agents blinded the Mercedes's driver, Henri Paul, with a flash gun and it was part of the conspiracy to make the crash look like an accident. French authorities and former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens - who investigated the crash on behalf of the coroner - have dismissed this theory. (Daily Mail)
