Charlie Teo's daughter charged over crash with former bikie boss Jock Ross

The daughter of famed neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo is facing serious charges after crashing head on with the founder of Australia's Comanchero motorcycle gang on NSW's Central Coast.

Nicola Teo, 24, was yesterday driving a Toyota Landcruiser when the car allegedly crossed to the wrong side of the road and struck former bikie Jock Ross on his Harley Davidson.
"Police will allege she (Ms Teo) was travelling on the wrong side of the road for some distance which resulted in the crash occurring," NSW Police detective inspector Katie Orr told reporters.

Mr Ross suffered critical injuries in the head-on collision on Settlers Road at Lower Macdonald about 3.30pm.

The 76-year-old was airlifted to Westmead Hospital with head, leg, arm and internal injuries.
"I ran down the road and there was a motorcycle trapped under the front of the car… the rider, on the other side of it," witness Keith Acton told 9News.

Ms Teo has undergone mandatory drug and alcohol tests.
