Kyle Sandilands has provided a significant update regarding the health of his chauffeur, George Plassaras, who was hospitalized after a devastating car accident.
The radio personality’s employee, 52, suffered severe injuries, including the loss of his hip, when LanLan Yang allegedly collided with his Mercedes van in her $1 million Rolls-Royce.
But now it seems Plassaras is on track to recover.
On the Kyle & Jackie O show on KIIS FM, Sandilands, 54, announced that just one and a half weeks after being extricated from his vehicle, Plassaras has taken his first steps.
‘He’s got all those bolts out of him. He’s stood and walked down the hospital hallway on a walking frame,’ the shock jock said.
“That must have been a good achievement for him,” co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson remarked, noting that recovery from such a traumatic incident is a “slow process.”


Kyle Sandilands, 54, has provided a significant health update concerning his chauffeur George Plassaras, 52, (right) after the driver was hospitalized following a catastrophic car accident.
‘They’re starting to talk about his rehab,’ a hopeful Sandilands said.
Daily Mail confronted Yang, 23, as she reported for bail, dressed in Chanel, to Rose Bay Police station in Sydney’s east last Wednesday.
The young woman was reportedly intoxicated while operating her Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the early hours of July 26, resulting in a collision with Plassaras’ van, totaling her car and causing his hospitalization.
Sandilands was not in the vehicle at the time.
Yang, flanked by a minder, was grilled on video about her plea to the charges, how she affords two Rolls-Royces, and whether she had any reaction to Plassaras’ admission that he had ‘lost’ his hip.
The crash left Plassaras with a broken spine and ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn abdomen, and fractures to both hips and femurs.
Speaking from the ICU last Wednesday to The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Plassaras revealed he has a lengthy road to recovery.
‘I’ve got no right hip,’ Plassaras said. ‘It’s totally gone.’

However, Yang did not acknowledge her alleged victim’s horrific injuries when told by our reporter.
The Daily Mail previously revealed Yang also owns a white Rolls-Royce Ghost Convertible, which is unregistered and parked at her Vaucluse penthouse.
Her garage uses a car lift with a 3,000kg limit, likely prompting her to park the other luxury vehicle—which costs more than many homes—on the street rather than undercover.
Sandilands broke his silence about the crash last Monday, describing his chauffeur, Plassaras, as the ‘greatest employee ever’.
‘What did [he] say when he was taken away in the ambulance?’ he said.
‘He asked for his mobile phone so he could do what?’
‘This is a guy at 4.30 in the morning after he has been cut out of his vehicle, he’s been trapped in his van for an hour, this poor bloke.
‘And he asks the ambo: “Get my phone so I can make sure Kyle’s all right for the week.”‘

Plassaras had to be cut from his vehicle before he was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition on July 26
Plassaras was cut from his vehicle before being taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition.
He could be heard yelling for help inside the crushed vehicle, as emergency crews from NSW Police Rescue and Fire and Rescue NSW worked to free him.
The crash was captured on nearby CCTV, which appeared to show Yang’s luxury SUV veering into oncoming traffic before the violent collision.
Her Rolls-Royce and his Mercedes are being held in a secure lot in Alexandria pending a police investigation.
When she was taken to Waverley Police Station following the crash, police allege Yang refused to undergo a breath analysis.
She was charged with causing bodily harm by misconduct, being in charge of a motor vehicle and refusing or failing to submit to breath analysis.
She was granted conditional bail to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on August 15.
She has not entered a plea to the charges.
Her bail conditions include a ban on driving and leaving her penthouse between 8pm and 6am. She must also report for bail three times a week.
