US agent’s wife claims diplomatic immunity, flees UK after teen dies in accident

The wife of a U.S. diplomat is accused of using diplomatic immunity to flee a police investigation in the U.K. after she allegedly struck and killed a motorcyclist while driving on the wrong side of the road.
South Carolina-born Anne Sacoolas flew out of the U.K. shortly after the auto-accident on Aug. 27 that killed Harry Dunn, 19, despite allegedly telling police she had “no plans to leave the country in the near future,” according to Northamptonshire Police.
Dunn’s family has led the calls for Sacoolas to return, describing her actions as “dishonorable”.
The fatal accident occurred close to US Air Force communications station, RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire at around 8.30 PM, when a black Volvo XC90 collided with Dunn’s black Kawasaki motorcycle. Dunn died in hospital a short while later.
The U.S. State Department confirmed Saturday in an e-mailed statement that the crash involved “a vehicle driven by the spouse of a US diplomat assigned to the United Kingdom” and extended “deepest sympathies” to Dunn’s family.
According to reports, the police have CCTV footage allegedly showing Sacoolas driving out of the RAF base on the wrong side of the road.

Shitty situation.
When you drive on the right side of the road your entire life it's not hard to switch to the left you just have to be constantly aware that you need to stay left.
I have found myself defaulting to right side rules in left side countries on accident especially on unmarked roads (like parking lots).

Do diplomats spouses have immunity and if so does that extend to killing someone? I hope they send her back.

This is such crap. She needs to go back and face the consequences.

That left side of the road annoys me too, but still.

Her husband is a spy, she aint going back

The US can waive her diplomatic immunity and extradite her to the UK if she is charged with a crime. That'd be the right thing to do.

I disagree. Not all legal/judicial systems are inherently fair.

The Saudis are notorious for this shite.
