American diplomat's wife to be charged in fatal UK crash
The wife of a U.S. diplomat will be charged in the U.K. over a fatal wrong-way crash, the British Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said in a statement on Friday.
British police have said that Harry Dunn was killed after his motorcycle was hit by Anne Sacoolas's car. Sacoolas later returned to the U.S., claiming diplomatic immunity.
She will be charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
CPS said that it has started extradition proceedings.
Chief Crown Prosecutor Janine Smith said in a statement that the Director of Public Prosecutions has met with Dunn's family to explain its decision.
“May I remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against Anne Sacoolas are now active and that she has a right to a fair trial,” Smith said.
