On 13 September 1982, Princess Grace and her daughter Princess Stephanie were involved in an accident when their Rover 3500 P4 careered off one of the winding roads leading to Monaco. Princess Stephanie was able to get out of the car when it finally stopped rolling, suffering only a few injuries. Princess Grace wasn't so lucky. Unfortunately, the 52-year-old former Hollywood film star had suffered a very mild stroke which caused her to lose control of her vehicle. After the Rover had stopped rolling down the cliff, Grace was found unconscious. She died in hospital the next day.
