Harry Dunn's mother says 'now justice has been done' she can tell son 'promise complete'

The mother of a teenager who died after being hit by car being driven on the wrong side of the road by an American outside an RAF base has spoken of how she kept a promise made to him on the day he died that he would get justice. Harry Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles talked movingly of her vow after American Anne Sacoolas admitted causing the teenager's death by careless driving.

Sacoolas, 45, was driving on the wrong side of the road outside RAF Croughton, near Brackley, Northamptonshire, on August 27 2019, when she crashed her Volvo into Harry's motorbike. He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford but died a short time later.

Harry's family and the UK government fought for over three years for Sacoolas to face justice, Northants Live reported. Following Sacoolas's guilty plea, Ms Charles said: "I can talk to him now and tell him we done it. Promise complete."
