The hotel’s security was struggling with the paparazzi as they had gathered with their cameras outside the hotel. To avoid the unrelenting flashes of paparazzi, the hotel security decided to let both of them sneak quickly and quietly. But, they did this even after knowing that this plan may put the princess in more danger.

To deceive the waiting paparazzi, the security decided to release a decoy vehicle. Just after the release of decoy vehicle, hotel’s deputy head of security, Henri Paul, drove both of them out from the back exit. There was plan to drop the two at Dodi’s apartment which was a short distance away. But, while doing so, some paparazzi spotted them and soon they were in hot pursuit.

Within the car, Diana and Dodi were seated on the back seat whereas a member of the Al-Fayed’s personal protection team was seated in the front seat while Paul drove the Mercedes. Just after three minutes of leaving the hotel, Paul lost control of the vehicle while passing through the Pont de l’Alma tunnel. The car was traveling at the speed of 65mph and later it was also found that Paul was under the influence of alcohol when the crash took place.
