Anne Sacoolas and her husband, Jonathan, were stationed in central England in August 2019 when British authorities say 19-year-old Harry Dunn was struck by a car driving on the wrong side of the road. Anne Sacoolas admitted responsibility for the crash, according to her lawyers.
At a virtual hearing Wednesday, the judge rejected a motion to dismiss on other grounds, in a hearing that often delved into application of British law in U.S. courts. The case can now proceed to discovery, and both sides can take depositions of relevant witnesses. The lawsuit alleges that she did not call an ambulance and that it was a passerby who arrived several minutes later who called for help.
