Trump on crash involving U.S. diplomat's wife

President Trump weighed in on a U.K. car accident that killed a 19-year-old Briton. The woman driving the car is the wife of a U.S. diplomat, and she used diplomatic immunity to flee to the U.S. Mr. Trump spoke with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the case. The president said U.S. officials would be speaking with the woman "very shortly" and they would see "what we can come up with so there can be some healing." He did not say he would send her back to the U.K. to face charges.

The teen’s parents say they hope the lawsuit is a wakeup call to companies and states not taking distracted driving seriously enough. Kris Van Cleave spoke to the family about how they are coping with their sudden loss.
