Harry Dunn, 19, was riding his motorbike when he was killed in a collision involving Anne Sacoolas outside an RAF base in August.

Northamptonshire Police have said they were not given advance warning that Mrs Sacoolas was leaving the country three weeks after the crash.

The 43-year-old flew back to the US after being given diplomatic immunity.

A source close to the diplomat's wife said on Monday that Mrs Sacoolas had stayed at the scene after the collision and spoke to Harry to tell him she would call for help.

Mrs Sacoolas was also said to have waved down another car which pulled over, allowing her to return to comfort her young children in her own car.

According to the source, Mrs Sacoolas stayed at the scene until the ambulance arrived and police allowed her to leave.

Northamptonshire Police have confirmed officers spoke to her the day after the crash and applied for a waiver of diplomatic immunity that day.

The force said it heard back on 16 September that the waiver had been declined and the diplomat's wife had already left the country.

Harry's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, have travelled to the US in the hope of meeting Mrs Sacoolas.

However, the family have said she must first agree to return to the UK.

Mrs Sacoolas accepts responsibility for the crash and wants to apologise to Harry's parents, according to the source.

Harry Dunn's parents ask Anne Sacoolas to 'do the right thing'

Radd Seiger, a spokesman and adviser to Harry's family, said: "The only proper way [for Mrs Sacoolas] to conduct herself is to return to the UK to face the music and to pass any information that she has to the police so that they may further their enquiries into the circumstances of the collision.

"I have made it clear to Mrs Sacoolas' lawyer, following her reaching out to me last week, that I am more than happy to meet with her to attempt to draw up a roadmap towards a potential meeting at some point in the future between the parties.

"I am hopeful that such a meeting between the advisers can take place in Washington DC later this week or at the weekend.

"However, for understandable reasons, I have made it clear, as the family have said all along, that Mrs Sacoolas has to return to the UK and assist the police with their enquiries."

Harry's mother told a news conference in New York on Monday that returning to the UK was "the only right thing" for Mrs Sacoolas to do.

She added: "It's the only humane thing to do. And we would hope then that we can try to start to move forward and the UK justice system do whatever they feel is right."

Harry's family have called on the Foreign Office to release all documents relating to its advice to Northamptonshire Police regarding the diplomatic immunity Mrs Sacoolas was granted.

Mr Seiger said: "What we don't know is whether somebody cocked up or whether they were put under pressure by the Americans to concede.

"But we want to conduct an investigation into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's decision to advise Northamptonshire Police that this lady had the benefit of diplomatic immunity.

"If we're not satisfied, then we'll go to a judicial review and ask a High Court judge to review it all."
