历史今天:1997年戴安娜因车祸丧生(8.31)

【英文原文】

On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car wreck in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion Dodi Fayed and the driver of the car, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Fayed's bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor, and was believed to be the only occupant wearing a seatbelt, until a 2006 study that said none of the four were. An eighteen-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants.

1997年8月31日，戴安娜王妃死于发生在法国巴黎阿尔玛桥公路隧道的车祸。她的同伴多迪法耶德以及司机亨利保罗当场死亡。法耶德的保镖，特雷弗里斯琼斯，是事故中唯一的幸存者。在2006年的事故调查之前，特雷弗里斯琼斯一直被认为是发生事故时唯一系安全带的乘客，然而2006年的调查报告显示四个人都没有系安全带。1999年一份长达18个月的法国司法调查显示造成戴安娜死亡的车祸是由于司机保罗在药物作用下不清醒驾车导致汽车失控而发生的。
