The mother of two Melbourne sisters allegedly involved in a roadside argument which left one of them dead says her ‘heart is broken’ by the family tragedy.

Asyai Luk, 22, could spend up to 10 years behind bars after she was charged with dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop and render assistance.

Police allege her older sister Anong Luk, 24, known as Gol, had tried to get out of the vehicle being driven by her sister when the black SUV accelerated and dragged the victim along the road before crushing her against a parked Jeep in Sunshine on Monday afternoon.

‘She (Luk) called me like mum she (her sister) got out of the car and she’s angry… I don’t know exactly what happened,’ Ms Gwit told Nine News.

Luk, a learner driver, allegedly left her older sister for dead and drove off. 

The black SUV was captured on CCTV driving down High Street after the alleged collision.

Her sister was rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital with serious head injuries but later died.

Luk appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday night, where harrowing details of the events leading up to the alleged collision were heard.

‘The accused returned to the driver side of the vehicle and continued with a verbal altercation with their sister,’ the prosecutor alleged in court, The Herald Sun reported.

The court heard the sister was ‘kicked out’ of the car and tried to get back in the vehicle in a ‘distressed’ state when Luk allegedly drove off.

The vehicle travelled a short distance before colliding with a white Jeep parked nearby.

The sister was pinned between the two vehicles after her head hit the Jeep’s front bumper bar.

‘The victim has lost her grip on the door and collided with the stationary parked vehicle with her face impacting the front bumper bar,’ the prosecutor told the court.

In court, magistrate Jason Ong noted the seriousness of the charges but granted Luk bail on strict conditions to appear in court at a later date.

She had no family in attendance at Tuesday night’s court appearance.

Investigations into the collision continue.
