BRITAIN’S Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged the United States on Monday to reconsider granting immunity to a diplomat’s wife suspected of killing a teenager in a British road crash.

Johnson said he was prepared to intervene with U.S. President Donald Trump to secure the woman’s return to Britain to face investigation over the death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn.

“I do not think that it can be right to use the process of diplomatic immunity for this type of purpose,” the prime minister told reporters on a visit to a hospital.

“I hope that Anne Sacoolas will come back and will engage properly with the processes of law as they are carried out in this country.”

Dunn was killed Aug. 27 when his motorbike collided with a car near a Royal Air Force base in Northamptonshire in central England, which is used by the U.S. military as a communications hub.

He was hit by a Volvo SUV traveling in the opposite direction, police said, adding only that they were treating an unnamed 42-year-old U.S. woman as a suspect.

The U.S. Embassy in London last weekend confirmed the vehicle had been driven by the wife of one of its diplomats, who had now left the country.

On the question of lifting diplomatic immunity, the mission said it was “rarely waived.”
