Victim’s mother in tears as crash woman f ilmed driving in US
THE American woman who sought diplomatic immunity after being involved in a crash that killed British teenager Harry Dunn has been filmed driving again – leaving the boy’s mother ‘distraught’.
Anne Sacoolas was filmed pulling out of the driveway of her US home in her SUV by ITV News.
She fled to the US after the crash in August near RAF Croughton, Northants, where her husband was based. It is thought she had been driving on the wrong side of the road when her car struck Harry, 19, as he rode his motorbike.
Last night, Harry’s tearful mother
Charlotte Charles, 44, watched the footage and said: ‘She’s clearly just going about her normal day, driving and taking the kids to school. She looks well, she looks calm, the house is all decorated with Christmas stuff – candy canes on the driveway, lights around the tree.
‘Her life looks so normal and she’s completely wrecked ours.’
Mrs Charles is in the US with Harry’s stepfather, Bruce Charles, and father, Tim Dunn, to press for Mrs Sacoolas’s extradition. Family spokesman Radd Seigler said: ‘The footage taken and her demeanour clearly shows she has no intention of coming back voluntarily to the face the music, nor does she appear to have any concern for what Harry’s
family are going through. Harry’s parents will issue no further pleas appealing to her better nature to come back voluntarily. She clearly does not have that in her.’
Northants police have handed evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which is deciding whether to bring charges against Mrs Sacoolas. The family are considering a private prosecution because of the delay.
