French police looking at new videotape

Last Updated: Friday, November 13, 1998 | 11:07 PM ET

An Australian couple is handing over a tape which could provide clues into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. The video shows a white car thought to be involved in last August's fatal crash.

French police already have a copy of the tape, but now they want the original. It's believed it might show details not visible on the copy.

The Australians were on vacation when they videotaped the car outside the Ritz Hotel in Paris.

French police suspect Diana's car was sideswiped by a small white car shortly before the accident. The crash killed the Princess, her companion Dodi Fayed and Driver Henri Paul.
