Celebrity chauffeur George Plassaras was injured in a serious head-on collision in Sydney’s east early Saturday morning, after a Rolls Royce allegedly driven by a drunk 23-year-old woman crashed into his Mercedes-Benz.
According to 9News, the incident occurred at around 3:30am on New South Head Road in Rose Bay, when Plassaras – who has chauffeured stars including Kyle Sandilands – became trapped inside his vehicle following the crash.
Emergency responders worked to free the 52-year-old, who sustained serious neck, back and leg injuries and was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital for treatment.
Local resident Brian Kandakji told 9News: “In the 21 years I’ve been here, I’ve seen some terrible accidents, but this one is probably the worst one.”
The driver of the Tiffany blue Rolls Royce, identified as LanLan Yang, was not injured. She was arrested at the scene after failing a roadside breath test and taken to Waverley Police Station, where she allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis.
Yang has since been charged with causing bodily harm by misconduct while in charge of a motor vehicle, and refusing or failing to submit to a breath analysis.
She was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on 15 August.
