Chinese national Chun Lai Yuen granted bail after Caitlyn Dickson struck in high-speed crash
Chun Lai Yuen, 25, appeared today in the Perth Magistrates Court charged with dangerous driving, after 17-year-old Caitlyn Dickson sustained serious injuries at a car meet on Monday night.
Police allege Mr Yuen was driving a black Honda Civic at more than 90 kilometres per hour on Camfield Drive near Crown Casino when it struck Ms Dickson.
Police prosecutor Sgt Simon Chan opposed bail, saying Mr Yuen was on a temporary student visa and did not have a stable base in Perth.
Magistrate Elizabeth Langdon granted bail with a $20,000 surety, and conditions including Mr Yuen not drive a motor vehicle.
He is due back in court on August 15.

NSW Police employee caught on CCTV in alleged Woolies clash
A wild altercation in a Woolworths in Sydney's west in which a bottle of milk was allegedly smashed over a man has led to charges against a NSW Police employee. CCTV footage has captured the incident between three customers near the checkout area of Woolworths at Auburn Central on Thursday. A man and a woman can be seen arguing with another man, before the confrontation turned physical. At one point, one of the men can be seen striking the other with a bottle of milk which then smashes. Police launched an investigation shortly after a 62-year-old man reported the incident. 'A 62-year-old man reported he had been allegedly assaulted by a 34-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman following a verbal altercation at the checkout,' NSW Police said in a statement. The 62-year-old man suffered minor injuries and later sought medical treatment. The 34-year-old special constable, attached to a specialist command, has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray. He has been served a court attendance notice and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on September 4. A 57-year-old woman, who was also allegedly involved in the altercation, faces the same charges and is scheduled to appear in court on the same date. NSW Police said the special constable's employment status was currently under review.
