Chinese Woman Involved in Drunk Driving Incident in Australia—Mysterious Background Draws Attention

(Sydney, 10th) A major car accident recently occurred in Rose Bay, an upscale residential area in Sydney, Australia. Lanlan Yang, a 23-year-old Chinese woman, was driving a Rolls-Royce when she collided with a Mercedes, leaving the Mercedes driver severely injured. Yang has been revealed to possess astonishing wealth, yet almost no public information about her exists, prompting speculation about her background.
According to foreign media reports, the incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. on July 26 on New South Head Road in Rose Bay. Lanlan Yang was driving a Rolls-Royce when she crashed into a Mercedes, causing the driver to suffer a spinal fracture, broken ribs, ruptured spleen and diaphragm, abdominal lacerations, two hip fractures, and two femur fractures, with the right leg needing to be amputated.
The injured driver is the personal driver of Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands.
Local residents commented that it was "the most terrifying" accident they've seen in 21 years living there.

Afterwards, Lanlan Yang refused a breathalyzer test and later returned to the scene to turn herself in. She was subsequently arrested on charges including allegedly causing injury through drunk and dangerous driving and refusing a breath test. That afternoon, Yang posted bail and walked out of the police station. She is scheduled to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on the 15th of this month.
Yang Lanlan's astonishing personal wealth has come under scrutiny. In addition to the Tiffany blue Rolls-Royce involved in the incident, reports claim that her home's garage also houses a white Rolls-Royce Phantom convertible, and even the car’s interior is filled with limited-edition Labubu figurines.
According to local residents, Lanlan Yang is usually shy and has never been seen working, yet her house is filled with famous brand-name limited-edition items, prompting curiosity about her family background.
This case has attracted attention in the Chinese community, as posts on China’s social media platform "Xiaohongshu" have claimed that Lanlan Yang is the descendant of a high-ranking political family, with personal savings reaching trillions of RMB. She is said to be a VIP customer who buys luxury brands by closing down the entire store for private shopping. However, none of these claims have been confirmed. On "X" (formerly Twitter), some users alleging Yang belongs to this political family and that her clan is involved in Australia-China iron ore trade further commented online that they "cannot say more as the police have come to their door."
There is widespread speculation online about Yang Lanlan’s identity, but the Chinese community in Australia has very little concrete information about her, and no one has stepped forward to confirm her background. Even Chinese netizens have been unable to locate any personal social media accounts, adding to the mystery regarding how this 23-year-old woman can drive top-tier luxury cars—where exactly did she come from?
