State Dept bars diplomat’s son from driving after crash
The State Department will bar Lidy Kane, 20, son of Senegal’s ambassador, from driving in the United States after a collision that injured two women. He received two traffic tickets totaling $800 and was not arrested due to diplomatic immunity. The incident sparked renewed calls in Congress to limit immunity. The State Department said immunity does not bar authorities from suspending a license.
