CORRIE'S David Platt is accused of trying to MURDER love rival Graeme Proctor after running him over during an epileptic fit.
David - who does not know he has epilepsy - leaves Graeme fighting for life after blacking out at the wheel.
And the trainee hairdresser ends up facing a life sentence after he is charged with attempted murder.
The pair earlier come to blows when bad boy David's ex Tina (Michelle Keegan) tells Graeme (Craig Gazey) that he tried to kiss her.
Humiliated David (Jack P Shepherd) then steals gran Audrey's car and accidentally ploughs into Graeme, sending him flying.
An insider at the ITV1 soap said: "As far as police are concerned it looks like an open and shut case. They fell out and David ran him down. No one believes David when he says he can't remember it. He's just told too many lies before."
David starts to black out more often and is finally diagnosed as epileptic, but it's touch and go as to whether it saves him from jail.
The shocking scenes will air later this year.
