A woman has walked free from court with a $600 fine after accelerating a car while her sister gripped onto an open door and leaving her to die on the road when she was flung into another vehicle. Asyai Luk, now 24, pleaded guilty to downgraded charges of careless driving and being a learner without supervision over the November 2022 crash. The court heard she was driving her mother’s black Dodge with her older sister, Anong, as a supervisor when they began to argue.
Luk drove off, briefly stopped and then left the scene as her sister was lying on the road. Anong died in hospital later that evening. Prosecutors initially charged Luk with dangerous driving causing death and failure to stop and render assistance, but those were downgraded to the two summary offences in June. County Court Judge Kellie Blair found Luk’s offending was “momentary and unintended” as she decided not to record a conviction.
