The fatal accident occurred on a roadway in the village of Croughton, England, on the night of Aug. 27, when a black Volvo XC90 collided head-on with a black Kawasaki motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction. The rider of the motorcycle, 19-year-old Harry Dunn, was taken to a hospital in the nearby city of Oxford, where he died soon after, according to press releases from Northamptonshire Police.

"Northamptonshire Police followed all of its usual procedures following the incident, including liaising closely with the suspect, who engaged fully with us at the time and had previously confirmed to us that she had no plans to leave the country in the near future," Johnson said in a statement Saturday.

While offering"our deepest sympathies" to Dunn's family, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State confirmed that the Aug. 27 incident involved"a vehicle driven by the spouse of a U.S. diplomat assigned to the United Kingdom." The U.S. government is in"close consultation with the appropriate British officials," the spokesperson told ABC News in a statement Saturday.

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement Saturday that he has called the U.S. Ambassador to express his"disappointment."

Most Diplomats and Ambassadors are positions of favor and not actual statesmen. These are pretentious, elitist, self-serving clowns. People whom are often given favor when they violate the law. This needs to end! She needs to be held responsible for her actions!

She needs to get her as back to the UK and face the consequences of killing that young boy.

'“Harry Dunn’s family deserve justice,' she added, 'and in order to achieve this, a full and thorough investigation, with the assistance of all parties involved, needs to take place.''

Prosecute her.

If US doesn't send her back to UK, could British government sanction an in-kind response to teach a lesson? Which wife of British diplomats assigned to US would mow down someone on US street?

Send her back.

She knew the Clintons in that article... ClintonBodyCount
