An Australian magistrate has ruled that a former US Marine pilot can be extradited to the United States to face charges related to his alleged involvement in a fatal car crash. The pilot, who had been living in Australia, was arrested last year after a request for his extradition was made by US authorities.
The extradition request stems from an incident in 2017 when the pilot was involved in a car crash that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. The pilot, who was serving as a Marine at the time, was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.
