Anne Sacoolas was due to appear remotely from the US on Monday but her evidence will now be read.
The family of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn are “shocked and upset” after finding out just days before his inquest that their son’s killer would not be giving live evidence.
Sacoolas’s lawyer, Ben Cooper KC, told a pre-inquest review hearing in November that the US citizen was “keen to assist the inquest”. The US State Department asserted diplomatic immunity on behalf of Sacoolas and she was able to leave the UK 19 days after the fatal collision. Reacting to the current plans for Sacoolas’s evidence, Mr Seiger told PA: “The parents are shocked and upset.“They have understood since last November from her own lawyer that she would be giving live evidence which would have helped the family better understand what happened during after the crash that killed Harry.
