Daily Record [UK] Mar 13 2004: PRINCESS Diana spoke to rescuers as she lay in the wreckage of her Paris car crash, it was claimed yesterday.
She was conscious and asked questions of a fireman who comforted her, he said.
Carlo Zaglia told how she repeatedly asked: 'What's happened?What's going on?'
His account contradicts official versions of the fatal crash,which claim Diana was too badly injured to speak. . . .
Zaglia, who did not give evidence to the official investigation, said: 'She could speak, she could hear and her eyes were open.'
He comforted the princess in the wreckage of the Mercedes which had carried her, Dodi Fayed, her bodyguard and Ritz driver Henri Paul.
The Frenchman said: 'She looks at me with these wide eyes and says, 'What's happened, what's happened? What's going on? Show me what's happened.' 'And she looks around but at the moment she was already in serious shock.'
Zaglia said he remembered Diana trying to stand up but finding she was trapped in the wreckage.
She did not cry or complain, he told US television.
The volunteer fireman, who now works as a sports photographer, said he held her hand while rescuers worked to free her.
But it was only when a torch was shone inside that he realised who the injured passenger was.
He said: 'I get up close to that lady, I take her hand and she looks at me.
'And I say, 'Listen, everything is going to be all right. Don't worry, the firemen are here.' .....---
