From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He told Daily Mail that while both cars are considered safe, the size and weight differential between the two cars played an important role in the outcome of the collision. 'The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has a V12 engine at the front and a very long bonnet. It also weighs 300kg-plus more than the Mercedes-Benz van – which appears to be a Vito in this case,' he said. 'Both vehicles are considered safe, but in a head-on collision like that, there is no denying that physics, vehicle mass and dimensions play a big part in the impact result – as witnessed here.' Fallah added that the incident could've been much worse if both vehicles weren't equipped with 'advanced safety systems'. 'The fortunate thing is that both drivers survived. Thanks in large to the advanced safety systems of both vehicles,' he said. LanLan Yang crashed her $1million Rolls-Royce Cullinan into the Mercedes van being driven by Plassaras in Rose Bay on Saturday morning. NSW Police allege 23-year-old Yang veered onto the wrong side of the road, having watched CCTV footage of the collision.

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. Police say Yang returned a positive result in a roadside breath test, and she was arrested at the scene. At Waverley Police Station, she allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis. Yang was charged with causing bodily harm by misconduct while in charge of a motor vehicle, and refusing or failing to submit to a breath analysis. She was granted conditional bail and ordered to surrender her passport. Under the strict conditions, she has been prohibited from driving a car and must remain at her Waverley mansion between 8pm and 6am daily. Yang is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 15. Speaking from the ICU on Wednesday's Kyle & Jackie O show, George revealed that he has a lengthy road to recovery. 'The Rolls-Royce Cullinan [pictured] has a V12 engine at the front and a very long bonnet. It also weighs 300kg-plus more than the Mercedes-Benz van – which appears to be a Vito in this case,' he said 'Both vehicles are considered safe, but in a head-on collision like that, there is no denying that physics, vehicle mass and dimensions play a big part in the impact result – as witnessed here, said motoring expert Alborz Fallah. Pictured: A Mercedes-Benz Vito 'I've got no right hip. It's totally gone,' Plassaras told hosts Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson. 'I've just been laying flat since Saturday, since the accident.' Plassaras, who has known Sandilands for a decade, mentioned that he will need hip surgery on his driving leg, which will keep him off the road for some time. He will also have to undergo a second operation on his knee. The driver added that doctors will have to wait until his hip operation to ascertain the extent of the damage to his spine. 'I've basically got no hip. After the operation, I can't legally drive for six weeks,' Plassaras continued. 'After the hip [surgery], I've got to do my right knee, they've got to check my X-ray for my spine, once I do my hip. 'There's a long list of injuries.'

UAE: From Bugatti Veyron to Rolls-Royce, why Dubai Police uses world's fastest, most luxurious supercars
Dubai Police use supercars like Bugatti Veyron and Rolls-Royce Cullinan to enhance public safety and showcase city's luxury./ File (AP) In most parts of the world, police cars are designed for utility, not spectacle. In Dubai, however, they are a statement. Since 2013, the Dubai Police force has rewritten the playbook on law enforcement visibility by curating a vehicle fleet that looks more like an elite car show than a motor pool. With Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Rolls-Royces, and even a flying hoverbike, the Dubai Police fleet represents a unique blend of security, branding, and futuristic thinking. The Vision Behind the Vehicles The transformation began in April 2013 with the induction of a Lamborghini Aventador into the police force. This was not simply about performance,it was about perception. The goal was clear: to elevate the image of Dubai as a global city of innovation, prosperity, and forward-thinking governance. Today, that vision is fully realized through a vehicle collection that symbolizes prestige, discipline, and a new form of civic engagement. Dubai's roads are filled with high-performance vehicles owned by residents and tourists alike. To maintain authority and presence in such an environment, law enforcement vehicles had to match the city's personality. These cars are strategically deployed in high-profile locations such as Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Mall, the Palm Jumeirah, and international expos,where they serve more as ambassadors than enforcers.

From the Bugatti Veyron to the Scorpion hoverbike, every vehicle in this unmatched fleet is part of a grander strategy,to redefine public safety as not just a necessity, but an experience. Whether it's winning the hearts of tourists or showcasing the technological might of the UAE, Dubai has ensured its police vehicles are as unforgettable as the city itself.
