American citizen Anne Sacoolas was sentenced to eight months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months, at the Old Bailey in London for causing the death of British teenager Harry Dunn in a fatal traffic collision in August 2019, meaning she will not have to go to jail.

Harry Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles told the court that the family was determined the death of her son "will not be in vain." "I didn't lose just one son when Harry died, I lost Niall too. He is a shell of himself. I'm petrified he'll do something terrible one day and I'll lose him too for good."Harry Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles told the court that the family was determined the death of her son "will not be in vain."

In the sentencing hearing on Thursday, Justice Cheema-Grubb said that she was told Sacoolas's "US Government employer" said her appearance at court in the UK would place "significant US interest at risk" and that, according to the documents, Sacoolas was "not at liberty to disclose further information."

Britain's attempt to extradite Sacoolas to face charges of causing death by dangerous driving was declined by US authorities, and the incident has sparked some tension between the two countries.
