Paris: The underpass beneath the Pont de l'Alma in central Paris was closed for several hours early on Wednesday as British police used advanced laser equipment to scan the site of the 1997 car crash that killed Diana, Princess of Wales. The officers, working on the orders of the former commissioner of London's Metropolitan police force, Sir John Stevens, will use the readings to make a 3D computer simulation of the crash. The British investigation is at the request of the royal coroner, Michael Burgess, who has said he wants to examine every theory relating to the crash, including those that argue it was not an accident. ``These images will be used to create a 3D computer model of the scene, using new technology which was not available in 1997,'' police in London said in a statement. ``The model, which will be used by the coroner at the inquests, will enhance understanding of the factors which may have contributed to the collision.'' Diana, her lover, Dodi Al Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul, were killed when their Mercedes slammed into the 13th pillar of the underpass shortly after leaving the Ritz Hotel on September 1 1997. An exhaustive French investigation concluded in a 6,000-page report that Paul was well over the legal alcohol limit. But Dodi's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, has claimed his son and Diana were killed by the British secret service because their relationship was embarrassing the monarchy. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004
