A resident of South Carolina in the United States has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with driving while unfit due to alcohol or drugs after a three car road traffic accident.
Helen Tebeto (53) with a court address as Raloo Road in Larne admitted the offence that occurred on April 22.
The court heard police were called to a three car collision on the Moneymore Road and spoke to the defendant.
She was asked had she taken alcohol and said she had one beer prior to the accident.
