Princess Diana: Conspiracy theories endure

Another odd fact is that the ambulance did not arrive at the scene until 12:40 a.m., 17 minutes after the first call had been made. That it then took over an hour for Diana to be freed from the car and loaded into the ambulance is perhaps not utterly extraordinary, but the fact that the ambulance actually stopped for several minutes on its way to the hospital has always made conspiracists suspicious that perhaps there was a concerted effort to deny Diana timely treatment. Indeed, Martino was asked at the inquest if there was “any truth in the suggestion you deliberately delayed taking her to hospital in order to harm her?”
