The court heard on Tuesday the two sisters were involved in a verbal and physical altercation in the car before Anong got out to get help from residents.
Asyai, a learner driver, is accused of trying to drive off with her sister halfway out of the car, allegedly dragging Anong with her before their black SUV collided into a white Jeep parked nearby.
The court heard Anong’s head was smashed into the Jeep’s tow bar with Asyai allegedly fleeing in the black car with nearby witnesses rushing out of their homes to try and provide aid to the 24-year-old.

She was rushed to Royal Melbourne Hospital but died of her injuries.
‘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 Asyai 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.
