French Emergency Doctor, Frederic Maillez, who was first to arrive at the scene of the crash that killed Princess of Wales, Diana, has said he was not aware she was the one when he first attended to her.



25 years ago on August 31, 1997, Princess Diana died in a car crash after her black Mercedes crushed against one of the pillars of a tunnel in Paris.


Frederic Maillez was driving home that night and was the first medic on the scene.


He said it was only the following morning when he watched the news on TV that he realised who his patient actually was.






Recalling the night he remembers so well, Dr Maillez said;


‘I opened the door of the Mercedes and I found four victims, two are apparently dead, they’re not reacting, they’re not breathing,’ he said.


He couldn’t get to the two victims he believed were dead as they were pressed against the wall inside the mangled car.





‘The two victims on the right side are alive but in a serious situation,’ he added.


‘I did this very quick medical assessment and I called emergency services to give them the address of the accident, the number of victims and ask for the necessary ambulances.’
