For anyone wondering about the diplomatic immunity reference:

The collision became the subject of a diplomatic dispute when Sacoolas left the country shortly after the incident and the US embassy said she had diplomatic immunity as the wife of a US agent working in the UK.[8][16][14][29] According to Sky News someone at the US embassy told Sacoolas to leave the UK.[30] The Washington Examiner reported that Jonathan Sacoolas did not work for the National Security Agency, and that the Sacoolas family lived in Northern Virginia in the area of the Central Intelligence Agency Langley headquarters.[31]

Dunn's parents were advised by two leading specialist lawyers on diplomatic immunity, Mark Stephens and Geoffrey Robertson. They advised that Anne Sacoolas was not entitled to diplomatic immunity, as her husband was not listed as a diplomat. Furthermore, they contended, diplomatic immunity no longer applied upon Sacoolas's return to her home country; therefore, it would be possible to take civil action in the US courts. The Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, also stated that diplomatic immunity no longer applied.[32][33] Dunn's parents decided to travel to the US to "fight for change" and seek the return of Sacoolas to the UK.[34]

I think that's more of a quirk than anything, they were able to leave the country before getting charged for the act. They were directly related to someone with the US government (CIA) which muddied the water. If it were a normal citizen, they probably wouldn't be afforded the same special treatment.

"If it were a normal citizen"

That's the funny bit, she is a normal citizen. She wasn't working for the CIA, it was her husband. Which is a slap in the face to the family of the boy who was killed.

Was she really not working for the CIA? I thought it came out in the US court that she did
