Possible cause of accident: Johnson calls for the return of diplomatic spouse from the USA

2019-10-07T18:02:19.347Z


The tragic accidental death of a 19-year-old Briton has triggered diplomatic complications. The driver of the accident car is said to be the wife of a US diplomat - and she left the country. Now Boris Johnson intervenes.



The case of the accidental death of a young Briton draws more circles. At the end of August, 19-year-old Harry Dunn was riding his motorcycle when he crashed into a car near a British military base in Oxford. US Air Force forces are also working on the site. The young man died in the hospital shortly after the collision.

Meanwhile, the wife of a US diplomat suspected of having driven the accident wagon. Her name is unknown to the public. On Sunday, there were new reports, according to which the woman had been driving her car on the wrong side of the road. The reports, inter alia, the US channel CNN.

The suspect is said to have left the country after the incident. But many Britons still do not want the case to be settled: Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson now promised to speak with the US ambassador in London. The diplomatic immunity, which actually applies to the emissaries of other countries, is not provided for this matter, said Johnson. The alleged accident driver should not have used these to get out of the country.

The woman should return voluntarily and face the investigative authorities, he demanded in a TV interview. "If we can not solve it that way, I will discuss the issue personally with the White House."

The mother of the murdered 19-year-old said: "If she had stayed here and stood up to us, I could have forgiven her, but to forgive her for running away, I can not do that yet."
