Kyle Sandilands shares major update about his hospitalised driver - after shock $1million Rolls-Royce accident left radio star's chauffeur with horrific injuries
Kyle Sandilands has shared a huge health update about his chauffeur George Plassaras, after the driver was left hospitalised following a horror car accident. The radio star's employee, 52, 'lost' his hip and sustained serious injuries after LanLan Yang allegedly crashed into his Mercedes van with her $1million Rolls-Royce. But now it seems Plassaras is on track to recover. Sandilands, 54, revealed on KIIS FM's Kyle & Jackie O show on Thursday that the celebrity driver has taken his first steps—just one and a half weeks after being cut out of his car. 'He's got all those bolts out of him. He's stood and walked down the hospital hallway on a walking frame,' the shock jock said. 'That must have been a good achievement for him,' co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson said, adding that healing from such a horrific accident was a 'slow process'. 'They're starting to talk about his rehab,' a hopeful Sandilands said. Daily Mail confronted Yang, 23, as she reported for bail, dressed in Chanel, to Rose Bay Police station in Sydney's east last Wednesday. The young woman was allegedly drunk behind the wheel of her Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the early hours of the morning on July 26 when she crashed into Plassaras' van, writing off her car and leaving him hospitalised. Sandilands was not in the vehicle at the time. Yang, flanked by a minder, was grilled on video about her plea to the charges, how she affords two Rolls-Royces, and whether she had any reaction to Plassaras' admission that he had 'lost' his hip. The crash left Plassaras with a broken spine and ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn abdomen, and fractures to both hips and femurs. Speaking from the ICU last Wednesday to The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Plassaras revealed he has a lengthy road to recovery. 'I've got no right hip,' Plassaras said. 'It's totally gone.' However, Yang did not acknowledge her alleged victim's horrific injuries when told by our reporter. The Daily Mail previously revealed Yang also owns a white Rolls-Royce Ghost Convertible, which is unregistered and parked at her Vaucluse penthouse. Her garage uses a car lift with a 3,000kg limit, likely prompting her to park the other luxury vehicle—which costs more than many homes—on the street rather than undercover. Sandilands broke his silence about the crash last Monday, describing his chauffeur, Plassaras, as the 'greatest employee ever'. 'What did [he] say when he was taken away in the ambulance?' he said. 'He asked for his mobile phone so he could do what?' '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."' Plassaras was cut from his vehicle before being 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 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 include a ban on driving and leaving her penthouse between 8pm and 6am. She must also report for bail three times a week.

Lamborghini driver gets a taste of karma after brainless move on Sydney's iconic Bronte to Coogee walk
A white Lamborghini came to a dramatic end on Sydney 's iconic Bronte-to-Coogee walk after it flew off the road at the notorious Bronte bend and slammed into a fence - just metres from shocked pedestrians. The high-end vehicle, veered off Tamarama Marine Drive around 4.30pm on Tuesday, mounting the kerb and crashing through the barrier on the edge of the packed coastal path. Emergency services rushed to the scene, and miraculously, no one was injured. The driver, a 22-year-old man, returned a negative result to both roadside breath and drug tests but was issued a traffic infringement notice for negligent driving following police inquiries. 'Not the kind of street art we like to see on the Bronte bend,' one local page joked, sharing a picture of the mangled Lamborghini. Many residents weren't surprised. 'This guy's always hooning up and down, exhaust screaming,' said one commenter. 'Honestly, good outcome no one was hurt.' 'Karma,' another said.

Why the AFL are 'absolutely out of their minds' at what Caroline Wilson did on Channel Seven footy panel show - as Eddie McGuire reveals 'very sensitive' issue
Eddie McGuire has launched a furious broadside at Caroline Wilson after the veteran journalist went rogue and exposed the identity of an undercover security guard hired to protect the safety of several AFL head coaches. The league reportedly told Wilson not to bring the man to attention on Channel Sevens's The Agenda Setters footy panel show on Monday night – but the scribe ignored the plea. The request ahead of Monday's show followed the league adding beefed–up security for Michael Voss, Luke Beveridge and Simon Goodwin in recent weeks for games at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. According to Nine's McGuire, the AFL is 'absolutely out of their minds' and 'incandescent with rage' at Wilson after she exposed the guard. 'They asked Channel Seven specifically because of the delicate nature of personal security and family security of AFL employees, not to run the story about the security guard,' McGuire said on Footy Classified on Wednesday night. 'Not only did they run the story, they ran it absolutely open and the man involved here is an executive and a top professional in undercover surveillance and security. 'She (Wilson) said "the AFL would be furious with me". Well, she got that part right. 'I can tell you they are absolutely out of their minds that this bloke has now been put in jeopardy. It's not just the football that this guy does. 'Not only that, it has brought to bear all the issues on sensitivities and privacy issues with not only the coaches, but the families of the coaches.' McGuire then questioned how the free–to–air network can salvage what is becoming a rocky working relationship. 'Channel Seven are the home of football (as the host broadcaster) and they put a ton of money in,' he said. 'But (after this saga) the balance between the ton of money and where they are at the moment is more fractious now than it has ever been.' McGuire added that if the AFL had told him not to run a story after pointing out security concerns, he would have canned the piece. 'It is very sensitive, this is a security issue, (so) I wouldn't have run the story,' he said. Footy fans on social media also felt Wilson crossed the line. 'Why would you report on this? It is clearly for the safety of the coaches and now you have outed the bloke. You say the wives are scared yet you do this. Shame,' one posted on X. 'Your story is more important than other people's safety is what you are telling us. Poor form exposing it,' said another. McGuire also said the Western Bulldogs delivered a 'please explain' to Channel Seven over Wilson's on-air comments slamming their coach Luke Beveridge, and 'humiliating their president and chief executive'. last Thursday night.
