Harry Dunn Mother: "Rest Easier" After Review
4 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Mother finds comfort knowing changes will be made after independent review.
- Review found the Foreign Office failed to treat the case as a crisis.
- Harry Dunn was killed in 2019 by a car driving on the wrong side.
The mother of Harry Dunn, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident in 2019, expressed a sense of peace, stating she can now "rest easier." This sentiment follows an independent review that confirmed her family's feelings of abandonment.
The review found the Foreign Office mishandled the case, failing to treat it as a crisis and withholding crucial information from the Dunn family. The incident involved a 19-year-old motorcyclist, Harry Dunn, who was killed when a car driven by US citizen Anne Sacoolas collided with him outside RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire.
Following the accident, Sacoolas left the UK, claiming diplomatic immunity, which ignited an international dispute. The family met with the current Foreign Secretary to ensure the review's recommendations are implemented, seeking reassurance that future victims will not face similar neglect.
