A man accused of causing the death of a popular landlady by driving dangerously will appear in court next month.
Jacob King, 29, has been charged with one count of causing death while over the prescribed limit of alcohol and one count of causing death by dangerous driving.
King, of Chessel Avenue, Southampton, has not entered a plea for both charges.
