A WOMAN is due to appear in court next month accused of drink-driving following an accident where a car plunged into the River Medina at Coppins Bridge, Newport in the early hours of Saturday.


Lucy Wilton, 29, of Northcliff Gardens, Shanklin will appear before Island magistrates on March 7 after the accident which took place at around 1.20am.

The car, a Vauxhall Corsa, was recovered from the water and there was damage to railings at the bridge.
