What are they arresting the husband for? Knowingly knowing a criminal?
Aiding and abetting her flight from the country? She didn't escape from justice in UK on her own.
You really shouldn't talk about things you know absolutely nothing about. The US Government facilitated their departure. It's called diplomatic immunity.
+1. Diplomatic immunity is pretty standard for diplomats and rarely gets waived. And unless we find out she was driving under the influence or was really negligent in some way, I’m inclined to be sympathetic to the woman. She made a mistake but that’s the definition of an accident.
I’m inclined to be sympathetic to the parents of the 19-year-old who was killed. He was In the correct lane. She wasn’t. He paid for her mistake with his life.

Since they had plenty of money for fancy private school they could at least pay for that poor kids funeral.
The US govt was paying tuition. Not the parents.
Really?
I heard that what you get is a Max amount per year and have to pay the rest yourself
I'm not US gov't but lived in a city with a lot of diplomatic employees. In that city they designated a school in an area which meets the educational criteria and will set the max at that level. In our city, the school with probably the 2nd highest tuition in the area was the benchmark. I didn't know of any families who sent their kids to the more expensive school (British curriculum) so the max felt pretty inclusive of expenses.

Were there any witnesses? Or, is there just an assumption that she was driving on the wrong side of the road?

If they were diplomats, the USG paid their kids' tuition. I hope, in this case, since the USG reportedly ordered the family to leave, the USG will compensate the victim's family in some way.

I have lived in the UK and in NZ where people drive on the other side and while I became quite adept at it, there were still a few instances when I simply turned into the wrong way without thinking about it, always when leaving a parking lot. Thankfully it never resulted in an accident. It also made me very careful about driving on the other side.
I used to live in Cyprus and when I was back in the U.S. one summer, I would inadvertently turn into the left lane (in the wrong direction). It was just habit and took me awhile to get out of the habit.
Turning into the wrong Lane is not the same as driving on the wrong side of the road and killing someone
Two lane road, one lane goes one way and the other goes the other way. In America, we drive in the lane on the right. I would inadvertently turn into the lane on the left where the traffic is coming at me.

She is not/was not a spy. She is a SAHM. Her husband works for the US Govt. the agreement with the UK gives US employees working at that base and their immediate families diplomatic immunity.
She doesn’t have a career and I doubt her husband’s is over. The CIA (or whoever) will just send them somewhere else.

Last I checked, causing someone's death by driving on the wrong side of the road and evading Justice is illegal
I don't think you understand diplomatic immunity. Further, you are required by law to tell the police the truth.
Sorry, NOT required.
