VANCOUVER — The trial for a woman accused of shoving her friend off the Moulton Falls Bridge in August has been postponed until February.

The delay, approved Tuesday morning by Judge Darvin Zimmerman, will allow more time for attorneys for Taylor Smith to negotiate with prosecutors over the case.

Smith, 18, is accused of pushing Jordan Holgerson, 16, of Kalama off the bridge at Moulton Falls Regional Park after the girl planned to voluntarily jump off, but hesitated.

Holgerson was standing on the edge of the bridge when she was pushed and fell more than 50 feet into the East Fork of the Lewis River. She belly-flopped into the water, breaking as many as six ribs and puncturing both lungs.

A 10-second video clip of the Aug. 7 incident, captured by a cellphone, went viral online, drawing national attention to the case and calls for Smith’s prosecution. The Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office opted to pursue a charge of reckless endangerment about 1 1/2 weeks later.

Smith has entered a not-guilty plea.
