The UK is considering extraditing an American driver who fled the country after a crash that left a British nurse unable to walk.
Mystery surrounds exactly who 22-year-old Issac Calderon really is after the victim of the crash was told by police that he had been visiting a British special forces base (SAS) near Hereford.
Elizabeth Donowho told Sky News that she was 'devastated' when Calderon, who is accused of causing injury by dangerous driving, failed to turn up to a hearing at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on the 1st of December. A warrant was issued for his arrest.
In court Calderon's occupation was given as 'American soldier', according to the Hereford Times.
Ms Donowho - who is 56 and from Malvern in Worcestershire - broke both of her ankles in the collision and was also left with a fractured sternum and a broken bone in her hand. She was unable to walk for six weeks following the collision.
"It was later on that they confirmed [to me] that he has been working for the US intelligence services, I think they said secret services," she said.
A spokesperson for West Mercia Police told Sky News "We have been working to reach him both directly and through formal channels and will continue to do so. We are preparing appropriate paperwork should we need to request extradition to ensure that the case can be heard in court."
Sky News understands that there aren't any issues of diplomatic immunity in this case.
A spokesperson for the British government said: "We are concerned at reports that Issac Calderon has failed to appear in court to answer charges. The Crown Prosecution Service are considering next steps."
