London (CNN) The parents of a teenage motorcyclist who died in a road accident have appealed to US President Donald Trump to intervene, after the wife of an American diplomat suspected in the case left the country. In an emotional plea, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn asked Trump to help bring justice for the death of their 19-year-old son, Harry Dunn, calling on authorities to waive her diplomatic immunity. The accident is growing into an international dispute, drawing in UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has promised to talk to the US ambassador as well as Trump if necessary. Johnson named the suspect as 42-year-old Anne Sacoolas on Monday. British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and his US counterpart Mike Pompeo discussed Dunn's "tragic death" in a phone call on Monday, according to a US State Department readout, while the US' ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson, repeated condolences to Dunn's friends and family.
