Harrowing COMA update on Kyle Sandilands' chauffeur after a $1million Rolls-Royce slammed into him - as details emerge about heroes who cut him from the wreckage
Kyle, 54, revealed on KIIS FM's Kyle & Jackie O show on Monday that his chauffeur George Plassaras had been involved in a collision with a $1million Rolls-Royce that left him with 'multiple broken bones'.
George suffered a broken spine, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn open abdomen, two broken hips and two broken femurs after the vehicle smashed into his car at 3.30am on Saturday in Rose Bay.
Bruno told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday, George woke up from a coma on Sunday night and only remembers 'pulling out of his street and then being cut out of his van' by a heroic rescue team.
'Despite his condition, he still has a great sense of humour and was making jokes about how badly his friend's NRL team was going this season,' he added.

The young woman who crashed her Rolls-Royce into George's Mercedes was allegedly drunk and will face court.
The high-speed, head-on collision occurred at about 3.30am on Saturday at New South Head Road in Rose Bay, in the city's east.
NSW Police allege LanLan Yang, 23, veered onto the wrong side of the road, slamming into a Mercedes van being driven by the chauffeur.
George, who runs Dakota Limousines, was trapped in the wreckage as witnesses rushed to call triple zero.
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 allegedly veering into oncoming traffic before the violent collision.
Police allege Yang carried out a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result, 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, being in charge of a motor vehicle, and refusing or failing to submit to 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.

Dan Sheehan handed four-match ban for dangerous clear-out on Tom Lynagh that went unpunished
Dan Sheehan, the British and Irish Lions hooker, has been banned for four matches after a dangerous clear-out on Australia fly-half Tom Lynagh that went unpunished by the officials during the third Test. According to a press release issued on Monday morning by World Rugby, Sheehan did not accept that foul play had occurred nor that the offence warranted a citing. This extended his eventual ban, though it will be reduced by a week if the 27-year-old completes World Rugby's coaching intervention programme, widely known as 'tackle school'. Sheehan, who appeared to hit Lynagh in the head with his elbow during the first half of the Lions' 22-12 loss on Saturday, was collared with charging into a ruck or a maul and a panel found his actions to be reckless. Tom Lynagh flattened by elbow to the head. #AUSvBIL — Jobson Growthe (@electricBAU) August 2, 2025 The committee also found that he made head contact with Lynagh, who subsequently left the field and did not return, and that Sheehan's actions 'amounted to a high degree of danger and that no mitigation applied'. There was minimal reaction to the clear-out from any players at the time, with Lynagh even staying on the field long enough to kick a penalty goal, which might have spared Sheehan from greater scrutiny. Michael Lynagh, the former Wallabies fly-half and father of Tom, has used his X account to repost several questions of how the officials missed Sheehan's actions at the time. One of them derided the situation as 'utterly insane'. Another, from Jack Quigley, said: 'So, just to be clear: This TMO will stop the game to check literally EVERYTHING except Dan Sheehan's hit that took Lynagh out. What are we doing here.' Had referee Nika Amushakeli been alerted to Sheehan's actions, it is highly likely that a card would have resulted. Even though 20-minute red cards were in play during the series, allowing teams to replace the offending player after that amount of time, the bunker official would have had scope to send off Sheehan permanently. Sheehan will now miss Leinster's pre-season game against Cardiff as well as their first two matches of the United Rugby Championship campaign against Stormers and Sharks. Provided that he completes World Rugby's coaching intervention programme, he will be available to face Munster on October 18.

Disturbing moment cop is filmed pushing over a woman from behind - as it is revealed what allegedly sparked the response
A uniformed police officer has been filmed pushing a woman in the back, who then appeared to hit her head on a metal bollard. The incident unfolded outside a school on Majara Street in Bungendore, 40km east of Canberra, about 2.50pm on July 22. Officers were called after a boy had allegedly threatened another boy and then thrown a rock through a woman's car window, smashing it. The woman got out of her damaged car before she was threatened and chased by a 15-year-old boy and a 32-year-old woman known to him, police allege. The boy was then arrested which prompted the 32-year-old woman to get aggressive towards officers, who warned her about her alleged behaviour at the time. As officers bundled the boy into a police car, the 32-year-old woman allegedly went back to the car owner and threatened her again. A senior constable then returned and intervened. Footage recorded at the the scene showed an officer approaching the woman as she argued before he pushed her. The officer then told her to get up and hauled her back from the roadside as she appeared to writhe in pain. The NSW Police Force told Daily Mail Australia it is aware of the footage. 'Police are reviewing footage circulating on social media about an incident involving a NSW Police officer on Majara Street, Bungendore, about 2.50pm, on Tuesday 22 July 2025,' a spokeswoman said. Police said a boy and a woman were taken to Queanbeyan Police Station and charged over the alleged incident. The boy was charged with stalk or intimidate intending fear of physical harm, contravening prohibition or restriction of an apprehended violence order (AVO), and destroy or damage property. He was granted conditional bail, to appear at a children's court on August, 11, 2025. The woman was charged with hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of duty, and two counts of stalk or intimidate intending fear of physical harm. She was also granted conditional bail to appear in Queanbeyan Local Court on August 11, 2025.

Former councillor is killed in horror crash on road he campaigned to be made safer - as lorry driver, 42, is arrested in connection with his death
A road safety campaigner has been killed in a crash on the very stretch of highway he called to be made safer. John Michael Duggan, 81, died in hospital following a crash on the A19 near Riccall, North Yorkshire, at around 10.30am on Friday morning. The driver of a white DAF skip lorry, a 42-year-old man from York, who collided with Mr Duggan's black Nissan Juke as the former councillor joined the A19 from York Road, has been arrested. Mr Duggan was taken to Leeds General Infirmary by air ambulance with serious injuries, but was tragically pronounced dead a short while later. The A19, which runs from York in the north to Selby in the south, has national speed limit restrictions at the junction with York Road, where drivers join at a 'give way' junction. Selby MP Keir Mather said Mr Duggan, a former Selby District Council and North Yorkshire County Council councillor, had campaigned for better road safety in Riccall. In 2019, Mr Duggan campaigned for a roundabout on the A19 to help prevent crashes after a collision which saw two people taken to hospital. An £850,000 road safety scheme to install the roundabout was scheduled to be built in 2007, but was subsequently axed with funds reallocated. In 2019, Mr Duggan said: 'The road is a lot busier than it was then, and accidents show people are trying to get out there but can't. 'It's quite common between Selby and York, the morning rush hour is car after car in both directions and you have to wait sometimes more than five minutes before you can get space and get out, it's such a busy road.' Speaking after Mr Duggan's death, Keir Mather MP said: 'This tragedy makes awfully clear the need for road safety improvements at both A19 junctions in Riccall. 'When I've canvassed or held drop-in events in Riccall this has always been what's come up. 'Anyone who uses either of the Riccall/A19 junctions knows that they feel unsafe, and that's what I've tried to impress on North Yorkshire Council previously that we need a new roundabout or at the very least a speed reduction. 'I will redouble my efforts to make North Yorkshire Council think again about the necessity of road safety improvements in Riccall. 'I've heard from so many people who agree and I've made contact with the parish council to discuss next steps - we'll only achieve this by working together. 'The most important thing in the next few days is that John's family are given the time to grieve and reflect on his memory, both as a family man and as a proud local campaigner for the village he called home. 'We owe it to his memory to see action taken, and people in Riccall can be certain of my full and unwavering support. 'Rest in peace John.' North Yorkshire Council leader Carl Les, said: 'John was a hard-working and well-respected councillor and this is incredibly sad news. 'He proved himself to be a dedicated public servant during his time with the former North Yorkshire County Council and Selby District Council, giving up his time to try to improve his local community. 'On behalf of everyone at North Yorkshire Council, I would like to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to his family, friends, former colleagues and all those affected by his death.' North Yorkshire Council's executive member for highways and transportation, Councillor Malcolm Taylor, said: 'While it would be inappropriate to speculate about the exact circumstances surrounding this particular collision with a formal investigation to take place, we are committed to ensuring our roads are as safe as possible for all users. 'We will continue to work closely with all our road safety partners to reduce the number of serious and fatal road collisions across North Yorkshire.'
