Sydney Chinese Woman Accused in Multi-Million Rolls-Royce Crash Pleads Not Guilty
Lanlan Yang, a 23-year-old high-net-worth individual, has denied all charges related to the multi-million dollar crash of a $1.5m Rolls-Royce SUV in Sydney's eastern suburbs last July.
Yang is accused of being behind the wheel of the luxury vehicle when it collided with a Mercedes driven by George Plassaras on New South Head Road in Rose Bay on July 26. The driver, Kyle Sandilands' associate, suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash.
Yang faces four charges, including refusing or failing to submit to breath analysis, dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, not giving particulars to police, and negligent driving (occasioning grievous bodily harm). Her solicitor, Michael Korn, entered a not guilty plea on her behalf in court yesterday, citing the need for a brief of evidence from the police to review.
Yang was present only briefly in court via video appearance before being excused from attending further proceedings. Despite her wealth and prominence, Yang's case has drawn limited attention from the Chinese Australian community, with only seven community members, including YouTube personality Sydney Daddy, attending yesterday's hearing.
The crash, which has sparked speculation about Yang's background, has been subject to intense scrutiny by local media. Yang remains on bail under the same conditions that were in place at the time of her arrest, including regular reporting to her local police station.
A court order was issued for NSW police to serve the brief of evidence to Yang's legal team by January 9. The case is set to return to court on January 30.

i dont know what to believe or who to root for tbh, but idk if someone as high-net-worth as her would just get behind the wheel of a $1.5m car without thinking twice lol she's got some serious explaining to do 
i mean, its not like she's from around here, so im curious about how she ended up in this situation 
and what led her to crash that SUV into another car 
hope they get that ASAP so we can see what really went down in that crash... meanwhile, 7 people showing up for a community member? 
gotta wonder if someone's hiding something 
the fact that only 7 ppl from the chinese australian community showed up to this hearing is wild 
and what's with all the media attention on lanlan yang? shouldn't we be talking about how this crash has affected actual people, not just her personal life? 
... a multi-million dollar crash and no one in the Chinese Australian community is talking about it? That sounds like some fishy stuff to me 
. I mean, Yang's got connections if she can afford that kind of ride, but what really went down on that day? 
. And let's be real, if this was just an accident, why all these charges? It seems like the system is trying to pin something on her and I'm not convinced 
.
I hope her solicitor can get that brief of evidence sorted by Jan 9, and maybe, just maybe, we'll see some justice served 
.
anyway, i'm curious how the investigation will play out now that the cops have a brief of evidence to review 
She's like, "Oh no, I was driving that thing, it wasn't me!" 
Like, if you're not paying attention in school, do we need to give out crash certificates? 
And what's with all these charges? Four of them?! It's like the cops are trying to give her a free ride... or should I say, a free crash course? 
But hey, at least Yang's got some famous friends, like Sydney Daddy! 
That's something, right?
