A prominent Chinese woman, implicated in a head-on collision with the driver of Kyle Sandilands, is set to contest the claims 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.

The charges against her include dangerous driving resulting in grievous bodily harm, failing to provide details to the police, and refusing or failing to undergo a breath analysis.

Additionally, she is facing an alternative charge of negligent driving causing grievous bodily harm.

Yang was not required to attend Downing Centre Local Court today, where her legal representative, Michael Korn, entered not guilty pleas for all the charges on her behalf.

“The situation is undoubtedly challenging and has attracted considerable attention, but she is managing,” Korn told reporters outside the courthouse.

Enthusiastic onlookers filled the courtroom today, hoping to get a glimpse of the enigmatic 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.
