A woman who allegedly crashed a car into a horse float in Ellenbrook last month has been charged with manslaughter after her passenger died from his injuries.
Chanelle Marie Harris, 34, appeared in Midland Magistrates Court on Tuesday, more than a month after the red MG station sedan she was driving allegedly collided with a grey Ford Ranger towing a float with two young racehorses inside on May 12.
The float tipped onto its side, with one of the horses escaping and later being caught by a member of the public. Neither horse was seriously injured.
At the time WA Police said a 36-year-old passenger of the MG was conveyed to Royal Perth Hospital for the treatment of critical injuries.
He died from those injuries 19 days later, and Harris was subsequently charged with his manslaughter.
She has also been charged with driving dangerously causing bodily harm in circumstances of aggravation, no authority to drive and driving with a prescribed illicit drug in her system.
Racehorse trainer Renee Forrest was left hanging upside down, she said, after the MG allegedly collided with her Ranger at the intersection of Main Street and The Promenade just after 9am that morning.
She told media she felt lucky to be alive.
Outside court on Tuesday, Harris told 9 News Perth, “You have no idea what I am going through” when asked if she had anything to say to the people involved in the crash.
She is yet to enter a plea.
Her charges were put through to Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court on July 29.
