A judge has ruled that Harry Dunn’s family will be allowed to pursue a civil claim in the US against Anne Sacoolas, who
fled the UK after allegedly killing the 19-year-old motorcyclist.
The family will be able to sue Sacoolas for damages after a judge in the eastern district of Virginia dismissed her argument that holding the proceedings in the UK would be “more convenient”.
He said she had at the same time expressed concern that “she will not receive fair treatment both with the press and the local community” in the UK.

Other motions Sacoolas’s legal team had submitted to dismiss the case will be heard on 3 March in Virginia.
