Coroner criticises US over teenager Dunn death crash

Anne Pember concluded at an inquest that the teenage motorcyclist died as a result of “injuries sustained during a head on collision” with a car on the wrong side of the road outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in August 2019.

Speaking after the hearing, the family of Mr Dunn accused the US government of “obstructing” the inquest and said they were looking forward to working with the next government to establish a public inquiry.

Outside the court after the verdict, Charlotte Charles, Mr Dunn’s mother, said she was “totally disgusted” that Ms Sacoolas and the US embassy were absent from the four-day inquest.

She said: “They’ve further disrespected Harry. They’ve disrespected the future he could have had and it further bolsters my opinion that they have no regard for myself, my family, our wider family, they just don’t care. Disgusted.”

Of Ms Sacoolas, she added: “She could have chosen this week to try to redeem herself a little bit. She made a drastic, terrible error almost four and a half years ago by leaving the country and trying her best to evade justice. She showed her children in our opinion that she’s a coward and that she had no regard for any of us.
