THE parents of crash victim Harry Dunn today demanded to know the truth over why the American suspect was allowed to leave the UK.
Harry was just 19-years-old when a car was claimed to have been driven on wrong side of the road – colliding with his motorbike and killing him outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in August.
But suspect Anne Sacoolas, 42, claimed diplomatic immunity and fled back to the US before she could be quizzed by UK cops over causing death by dangerous driving.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, grieving dad Tim Dunn said they knew the tragic night had been an accident but still needed answers.
He said: “We want the truth of why this lady was allowed to leave.”
Since the crash, Northamptonshire Police interviewed suspect Ms Sacoolas over just what happened on the tragic day in August.
They have since passed the evidence onto the CPS.
But Harry’s family said they had no idea if and when charges would be brought.
Speaking today on the Victoria Derbyshire show, dad Tim added: “I can’t see how charges won’t be brought, with the evidence against her.
“It would be ludicrous to not bring charges with the evidence there – it’s for all to see.”
They said they hoped that if Ms Sacoolas was charged, she would be extradited back to face court.
Since Ms Sacoolas left the UK, it was claimed she did not have diplomatic immunity.
The parents had earlier this year travelled to America to speak with authorities there – meeting with US President Donald Trump.
But they said they had been shocked when they were told Ms Sacoolas was in the other room at the White House.
Mum Charlotte Charles said the meeting had been “sprung” on them.
The family ultimately chose not to speak with her, saying they wanted to have a proper meeting that involved mediators and therapists.
And Charlotte said they felt they were taking “baby steps” in the right direction.
They are now set to launch civil proceedings against the American.
The family is set to refer Northamptonshire Police to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over their handling of the investigation.
