American woman sentenced in wreck

-

An American woman who left the U.K. after killing a teenager in a road accident was given an eight-month suspended prison sentence on Thursday, though it could not be enforced if she remains in the U.S.

Anne Sacoolas, 45, was sentenced over an August 2019 accident in which 19year-old Harry Dunn was killed when his motorcycle collided with a car. Sacoolas was driving on the wrong side of the road. Sacoolas and her husband, an intelligen­ce officer, returned to the U.S. days later, where the government claimed diplomatic immunity, prompting an outcry in Britain.
