PARIS -- French investigators have determined that paint found on the Mercedes in which Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed Aug. 31 came from a fl Fiat Uno that apparently collided with the Mercedes just before it smashed into a tunnel support pillar, officials said Thursday.

Similarly, the French inquiry appears to have made little attempt to track down the motorcyclist seen close to the Mercedes as it crashed.
