Diana case to reopen

A British coroner is to reopen an inquiry into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, a British newspaper says.

The Sunday Mirror reported the car in which Diana and her friend Dodi al-Fayed were killed in 1997, currently held at a police station in Paris, could be sent to England for examination.

"The remains of the vehicle have been protected by a court order and should be examined by British police vehicle examiners," coroner Michael Burgess told the paper. "It should resolve once and for all two key issues: whether the speedo was jammed and whether there was a collision with another car."
