Shepard decided that this was a car accident. British police invested £3 million in the investigation, re-investigating Princess Diana's car and the place where the accident occurred, and re-inspected 1,500 witness confessions and 20,000 documents. The investigation results are clear: Princess Diana's death was the car accident.
However, in 2008, the British police launched another investigation, and this time they added the paparazzi who pursued Princess Diana's car as the perpetrator.

The people in the same car were her 42-year-old rich boyfriend, Dodi Fayez , 41-year-old driver Henry Paul, and Fayez bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the time. Reese Jones, 51, is the only survivor and the only person wearing a seat belt.

French police found that he did not have a license to drive a Mercedes-Benz S280 sedan to pick up and drop off passengers. The car's speed was between 73-96 miles per hour (1 mile is about 1.6 kilometers - this website note).
