US diplomat's wife 'claims immunity and leaves UK after fatal road accident'
The wife of a US diplomat reportedly claimed immunity and left the UK after being involved in a fatal road accident.
Harry Dunn died in the incident near RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire on August 27.
The 19-year-old was riding his motorbike when a woman emerged from the airbase on the wrong side of road and there was a head-on collision, it was reported. He later died in hospital.
Northamptonshire Police met with the suspect, who is the wife of a US diplomat and who claimed immunity, Sky News reported. The legal protection also covers dependents of diplomats.
Police applied for a waiver of the immunity to pursue the case, but their request was rejected and they were told she had left the country, the broadcaster reported, quoting Superintendent Sarah Johnson from Northamptonshire Police.
Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, said he was disappointed by the US decision.
"I wish to offer my condolences to the family affected by this tragic incident," he told Sky News.
