‘You may have seen over the weekend, it was all over the news, a head-on collision in Rose Bay in Sydney with a Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes,’ he told listeners.

‘Well, that was my driver, George.’

The radio shock jock added that while the Rolls-Royce driver walked away ‘unscathed’, George was left with several serious injuries.

These included a broken spine, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn open abdomen, two broken hips and two broken femurs.

Kyle said that George was the ‘greatest employee ever’ thanks to his actions following the accident.  

‘What did [he] say when he was taken away in the ambulance? He asked for his mobile phone so he could do what?’ he added.

‘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.”‘

The young woman who crashed her $600,000 Rolls-Royce into George’s Mercedes was allegedly drunk and will face court.

The high-speed, head-on collision occurred around 3.30am on Saturday at New South Head Road in Rose Bay, in the city’s east.

NSW Police allege LanLan Yang, 23, veered onto the wrong side of the road, slamming into a Mercedes van being driven by the 52-year-old chauffeur.

George, who runs Dakota Limousines, was trapped in the wreckage as horrified witnesses rushed to call triple zero.

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 allegedly veering into oncoming traffic before the violent collision.

Police allege Yang carried out a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result, and she was arrested at the scene.

At Waverley Police Station, she allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis.

Yang 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 and ordered to surrender her passport.

Under the strict conditions, she has been prohibited from driving a car and must remain at her Waverley mansion between 8pm and 6am daily.

Yang is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 15.
