A US government employee has apologised for her “tragic mistake” which resulted in the death of Harry Dunn as she remained absent from his inquest.

Anne Sacoolas insisted she was a “safe driver” during a voluntary interview with police two months after the fatal crash in 2019, which was read to Northampton Coroners’ Court.

The inquest heard that when asked what she believed had caused the collision, she told Northamptonshire Police officers: “I drove like an American and drove on the American side of the road.”

The inquest continues and is expected to conclude on Thursday.
