The wealthy heiress behind the wheel of a Tiffany-blue Rolls-Royce that smashed into a celebrity chauffeur, leaving him with horrific injuries, has reported for bail dressed head-to-toe in a designer outfit.
The Daily Mail confronted LanLan Yang, 23, as she reported to Rose Bay Police station in Sydney’s east on Wednesday, dressed in a Chanel outfit, five days after smashing her $1million car into a Mercedes van driven by Kyle Sandilands’ chauffeur.
The young woman was allegedly drunk behind the wheel of her Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the early hours of Saturday morning when she crashed into George Plassaras’ van – writing off her car and leaving him hospitalised. Sandilands was not inside at the time.
Yang was flanked by a minder as she was grilled on video about how she would plead to the charges she faces, how she can afford two Rolls-Royces and if she had any reaction to Mr Plassaras’s admission he had ‘lost’ his hip.
The crash left Mr Plassaras with a broken spine, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn open abdomen, two broken hips and two broken femurs.
Speaking from the ICU on Wednesday’s Kyle & Jackie O show, Plassaras revealed that he has a lengthy road to recovery.
‘I’ve got no right hip,’ Mr Plassaras said. ‘It’s totally gone’.
However, Yang did not acknowledge her alleged victim’s horrific injuries when told by our reporter.
Instead, she kept her head bowed as she returned to her own chauffeur-driven minivan – a far cry from the two luxury vehicles she currently owns.
The Daily Mail previously revealed Yang also owns an unregistered white Rolls Royce Ghost Convertible parked at her Vaucluse penthouse.
Her garage uses a car lift that can only take 3,000kg, Her garage uses a car lift that can only take 3,000kg, which is likely why she opted to park her other luxury vehicle – that costs more than many people’s houses – on her residential street instead of keeping it undercover.
While very little is known about Yang or how she obtained her substantial wealth, neighbours from her upmarket building described her as ‘polite’ and ‘shy’ when they were approached.
They also added the young resident, who occupies the building’s prized penthouse apartment, decorated her car with the mega-exclusive Labubu toys.
‘She decorates the front of the car with those Labubus – it’s cute,’ the neighbour revealed.
Another neighbour added she was rarely seen at the property.
Sandilands broke his silence about the crash on Monday, describing his chauffeur Mr Plassaras as the ‘greatest employee ever’.
‘What did [he] say when he was taken away in the ambulance? He asked for his mobile phone so he could do what?’ he said.
‘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.’
Mr Plassaras had to be cut from his vehicle before he was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a stable condition.
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.
Her Rolls-Royce and his Mercedes are being held in a secure lot in Alexandria pending a police investigation.
When she was taken to Waverley Police Station following the crash, police allege Yang refused to undergo a breath analysis.
She 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 to appear before the Downing Centre Local Court on August 15.
She has not entered a plea to the charges.
Her bail conditions included that she not drive a car or leave her penthouse between the hours of 8pm and 6am and must report for bail three times a week.
