UK prime minister called Trump about securing 'justice' in car crash involving American: report

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson directly contacted President Trump Friday about a fatal car crash after the U.S. State Department refused to extradite the American suspect involved, his office said.

"The Prime Minister raised the tragic case of Harry Dunn, and the need to secure justice for Harry's family," a Downing Street spokesperson said, according to Sky News. "He reiterated the need for the individual involved to return to the UK."

Dunn, 19, was killed in August of last year during a head-on collision that 42-year-old Anne Sacoolas is charged with causing through dangerous driving. Sacoolas claimed diplomatic immunity and returned to the U.S., but a Dunn family spokesperson suggested that UK authorities considered trying her in absence.


"I am informed by officials in London that the UK authorities are urgently considering all their options following the rejection of the extradition request including trying #annesacoolas in her absence and issuing an Interpol Red Notice," spokesperson Radd Seiger tweeted on Saturday.
