Dunn family drop plan to sue in the US
Chilly bank holiday puts families off beach visits
FATAL CRASH Harry Dunn
HARRY Dunn’s family have withdrawn their lawsuit against the US Government in the hopes of breaking the deadlock in their search for justice.
The 19-year-old’s parents Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn had planned to sue the Trump administration over its handling of the case.
But the US State Department recently announced it was working closely with UK authorities to find a “reasonable resolution”.
Anne Sacoolas, 43, the wife of a US intelligence official, left for America after the fatal bike collision before being charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
Charlotte, 45, said: “We now appear to be in the home straight of the worst period of our lives.”
BRITONS shivered through Bank Holiday Monday as temperatures plunged yesterday.
But despite temperatures only reaching 14C in parts of Wales and 17C in Northern England, some hardy staycationers still visited beaches.
Early on the final day of the meteorological summer, Ravensworth, North Yorks, was 0.6C – the second coldest start to an August Bank Holiday Monday for England since 1965.
The coldest ever was 0.2C in Northumberland in 1983.
The cold snap was in sharp contrast to this time last year.
Last year’s August Bank Holiday Monday was the hottest on record, with 33.2C recorded at Heathrow. But it will stay mostly dry this week. And temperatures are predicted to rise again soon.
Met Office forecaster Craig Snell said: “It will be pretty seasonal this week.
“Temperatures will be roughly where we expect them by day, and... there will still be some chillier nights.”
The mercury is expected to creep towards 21C in London, 19C in Manchester and 18C in Sheffield today.
Brian Gaze, forecaster for The Weather Outlook, said: “Summer was hit by the curse of hot spring weather, which often sees wet summers follow. It’s weather’s way of evening things out.”
