The high-profile Sydney<\/a> Chinese woman Lanlan Yang has pleaded not guilty to all charges relating to a crash in Sydney\u2019s eastern suburbs in July that left a driver for FM radio host Kyle Sandilands with serious injuries.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was accused of being at the wheel of a $1.5m Rolls-Royce SUV when it collided with a Mercedes driven by George Plassaras on New South Head Road in Rose Bay on 26 July.<\/p>\n

Yang was charged with 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).<\/p>\n

Her solicitor, Michael Korn, entered a not guilty plea to all four charges and requested a brief of evidence from the police to review.<\/p>\n

Except for the first mention, when she appeared in court through video appearance, Yang has been excused by the court from attending.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously the matter is quite tough, it\u2019s got a lot of attention, but we are taking to it,\u201d Korn told the media outside the court.<\/p>\n

Yang\u2019s case has attracted attention from the Chinese Australian community and on Chinese-language social media due to her lavish wealth and speculation about her background.<\/p>\n

At previous hearings, dozens of Chinese Australians attended to observe. This time, only seven community members were present, including the Chinese-language YouTube shock jock known as Sydney Daddy.<\/p>\n

Yang continues to be on bail with the same conditions, including regularly reporting to her local police station.<\/p>\n
