Yes. Unfortunately it is true. It was all over television last night.
Apparently they were trying to get away from five photogaphers (and I
use the term loosely) on motorcycles and lost control of the car (for
reasons unknown as of yet) at a speed of over a hundred miles an hour
(30 mph zone) and hit a divider, head on. She died at the hospital at
4:00 am UK time. Last I heard (about 1:00 am our time) of the four in
the car, one person (a body guard) was still alive, but in critical
condition.
My sincerest condolences to our friends in the UK.
Bobby
