Northamptonshire police have submitted a file to the Crown Prosecution Service on the death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn in a crash in August following an interview with Anne Sacoolas, the American suspect in the case.
Sacoolas fled the UK soon after the accident claiming diplomatic immunity on the basis that her husband worked as an intelligence officer based at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire.
The file was submitted to the CPS after she was interviewed by the police in the US.
Donald Trump, speaking to Nigel Farage on LBC on Thursday, refused to give a commitment that Sacoolas would return to the UK to face a court hearing. The US president said he was willing to examine the final facts but said he had tried to engineer a meeting between Sacoolas and the parents of Harry Dunn in the White House, adding that the family refused.
