A 60-year-old woman from Chain Valley Bay is facing a string of charges over a bad crash at Jewells earlier this year which has left an elderly woman still fighting for her life.
The two women were critically injured when their cars collided at the intersection on Ntaba Road and the Pacific Highway on March 25.
The younger woman was released from hospital and has now been charged with 5 offences including, dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, drive while using a mobile phone and driving with illicit drug present in blood.
She's been granted conditional bail to face Newcastle Local Court on July 30.
A 73-year-old woman from Jewells is being treated for spinal, head and internal injuries.
