Yu Yung, 25, of Canary Wharf, East London, was due to appear at Oxford Crown Court on Monday (April 8) charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in Bicester.

She was found guilty by the jury on Tuesday afternoon (April 9).
During the trial, it was heard the incident occurred on December 27, 2022, on the A41 between Westcott Venture Park and Waddesdon at about 2.10pm while Yung was driving to Bicester Village shopping centre.
Yung, who driving a red Porsche, was driving behind her friend in a Mercedes.
The pair were driving in separate cars as they were heading to different places after shopping, Yung had told police.
It is the prosecution’s case that the duo were ‘racing’ as the Mercedes driver had overtaken a car, swiftly followed by Yung.
