Drunk driver Carol Berner has been granted bail while awaiting the appeal of her impaired and dangerous driving convictions.

The 58-year-old Delta, B.C., woman is appealing her convictions and two-and-a-half year prison term for the May 2008 crash that killed four-year-old Alexa Middelaer.

The incident occurred while the girl was feeding a horse on the side of the road, and also severely injured her aunt.

Ms. Berner has been held in custody in Surrey while awaiting the Court of Appeal ruling.

It could be late 2011 before the high court hears her case.

Ms. Berner returns to court next June 15 to set a date for the appeal.
