Olivia Brown (pictured), 23, declined to answer questions at the closed hearing yesterday in the island capital Arrecife.

A British woman accused of drink-driving and causing a horror smash which killed a four-month-old baby in Lanzarote has finally appeared before a judge after her first hearing was cancelled because she had a panic attack.

British mother Alex Chadkirk, 28, was hurt in the March 11 crash after Brown's Ford Fiesta mounted the pavement and careered into her and her baby girl Harper Ayton. The tot's father Timothy Ayton, 40, was rushed to a nearby hospital and had to be admitted to an intensive care unit along with Alex's mum Andrea Chadkirk.The family, from South Shields, Tyne & Wear, were holidaying on the island and walking back to their holiday villa in the resort of Playa Blanca when they were hit by Brown's.

The expat, believed to be originally from Glasgow - although she moved to Lanzarote as a child - was told at the time she was being provisionally released pending an ongoing investigation and ordered to surrender her passport and sign on at court twice a month.A spokesman for the investigating judge said: 'The person being investigated over the crash in Playa Blanca in Lanzarote on March 11 appeared at Arrecife Court of Instruction Number One yesterday morning.

In the aftermath of the accident a spokesperson for Yaiza Town Hall, which covers the Playa Blanca area, said in a statement the car driver 'showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol and drugs.' Brown is said to have been travelling from her home to work when she crashed. She is believed to work at a local hotel.
