A US government employee apologised for the “tragic mistake” that resulted in the death of Harry Dunn.
In a voluntary interview with police two months after the fatal crash in 2019, which was read to the court yesterday, Anne Sacoolas insisted she was a “safe driver”. Sacoolas remained absent from his inquest.
The inquest heard that when asked what she believed had caused the collision, she told Northamptonshire Police officers: “I drove like an American and drove on the American side of the road.”
Sacoolas said in a witness statement that the crash that killed the teenage motorcyclist in August 2019 is something that will live with her “every single day for the rest of my life”. Responding to the statements provided to the court by Sacoolas, the Dunn family’s spokesperson Radd Seiger said: “We have heard most of that before. “Why on earth is Sacoolas not in court to answer the court’s and the family’s questions?”
