Nineteen-year-old Hayden Currie faced the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday night charged with two counts of culpable driving and one count of negligently causing serious injury.

With slight facial hair, and wearing a white shirt, beige shorts and sneakers, Mr Currie was supported by his mother and father in court. He was granted bail, with a $10,000 surety, and will appear back in court for a filing hearing on Thursday.

Police told the court that the apprentice carpenter was travelling at a “fast rate of speed” along Ferntree Gully Road about 7.55pm on Sunday when he T-boned a Nissan Skyline.
