Perth doctor denied bail after fatal crash that killed 24-year-old

A Perth obstetrician, Rhys Bellinge, has been denied bail after a fatal crash that killed 24-year-old Elizabeth Pearce. A magistrate cited his aggressive behavior and high blood alcohol level as reasons for the decision. Bellinge was allegedly speeding at 130 kilometers per hour when he struck a rideshare vehicle. He faces charges of manslaughter and causing grievous bodily harm to the rideshare driver, who is in serious condition. The magistrate noted Bellinge's reckless conduct and significant flight risk due to his wealth. He remains in hospital with injuries from the crash and is scheduled to return to court next month.
