Court hears Yang Lanlan will contest allegations in crash that injured George Plassaras

·

Kyle Sandilands’ longtime driver, George Plassaras, is again in the spotlight as the woman accused of causing the head-on collision that left him critically injured formally fights the charges in court.

The crash occurred around 3.30 am on July 26, when 23-year-old Yang Lanlan allegedly drove her Rolls-Royce into Plassaras’ Mercedes in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Plassaras was trapped for an hour before being freed and taken to hospital with multiple broken ribs, both femurs and hips fractured, a ruptured spleen and a broken spine, Sandilands has said.

Yang, who was uninjured, has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, not giving particulars to police, and refusing or failing to submit to breath analysis, along with a backup charge of negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm.

She allegedly returned a positive roadside breath test before later refusing a full breath analysis at Waverley Police Station.

Yang was excused from appearing at Downing Centre Local Court, where her lawyer Michael Korn entered not guilty pleas to all charges.

“Obviously the matter is quite tough and it’s drawn a lot of attention, but she’s getting through it,” Korn told reporters outside court.

The case has drawn intense public interest, with onlookers filling the courtroom amid speculation about Yang’s family wealth and alleged ties to high-ranking Chinese officials.

The matter returns to court on January 30, with Yang again excused from attending.
