Diana crash survivor interviewed

The magistrate in Paris investigating the car crash last August which killed Diana, Princess of Wales, has again interviewed the sole survivor of the accident, the British bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones.

The interview - the third between the two men - lasted two hours; afterwards, Mr Rees-Jones departed for Britain without comment.

As he arrived at the French law courts earlier, the extensive scarring he received as a result of the accident was clearly visible.

In previous interviews, he has been unable to remember anything of the events leading up to the crash which also killed Diana's companion, Dodi Fayed, and his driver.

Meanwhile, one of Princess Diana's advisers has cast doubt on the authenticity of a purported interview with the Princess, just published in the magazine, Paris Match.
