A prominent Chinese woman, accused of instigating a head-on crash with the driver of radio personality Kyle Sandilands, is set to challenge allegations of reckless driving.

Yang Lanlan, 23, was driving her Rolls-Royce in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs on July 26 about 3.30am when she allegedly collided with a Mercedes driven by George Plassaras, a driver for the controversial radio figure.

She faces charges of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm, failing to provide particulars to the police, and refusal to undergo a breath analysis. Additionally, there is a secondary charge of negligent driving resulting in serious injury.

Yang was not present at the Downing Centre Local Court, as her attorney, Michael Korn, entered not guilty pleas on her behalf for all charges.

Outside the courthouse, Korn remarked, “The case is undoubtedly challenging and has garnered significant attention, but she is managing it well.”

The courtroom was packed with eager spectators, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the intriguing 23-year-old.

Her family’s wealth and supposed ties to high-ranking Chinese officials has generated significant online speculation in Australia and China.

Plassaras was trapped in his vehicle for an hour before being freed and taken to hospital with serious injuries, but Yang emerged unscathed, according to Sandilands.

The radio host sang the 52-year-old’s praises while outlining his road to recovery.

The driver had broken several ribs, both his femurs and hips and suffered a ruptured spleen and broken spine, Sandilands said.

“I saw him and went, ‘oh shit, George you look horrible’ – I was nearly crying,” he said during the Kyle & Jackie O show in late July.

Yang tested positive during a roadside breath test but allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis when she was arrested and taken to Waverley Police Station.

The case will return to court on January 30.

Yang is again excused from appearing.
