Reports indicate that Kemp was allegedly intoxicated at the time of the crash, with a blood alcohol content of 0.158.

At the time of the accident, Kemp was riding the e-scooter with a friend, who sustained serious injuries including a fractured skull and broken nose.

Kemp's bail request was denied due to concerns she posed a significant flight risk, prompting her parents to travel to Australia for support.

Her family is concerned about her situation, especially since a magistrate indicated the likelihood of her not returning to court.

Kemp is scheduled to appear in court again on July 15, 2025, to face the charges against her.

If convicted, Kemp faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, as she has also been charged with dangerous driving occasioning bodily harm.

Kemp, a graduate of Nottingham Trent University with a background in psychology and criminology, was in Australia on a four-month working holiday visa at the time of the incident.

The crash has prompted public outcry, leading the City of Perth to suspend e-scooter usage and consider removing them from the streets following Phan's death.

Alicia Kemp, a 24-year-old backpacker from Redditch, has been arrested and charged with dangerous driving causing death following a tragic e-scooter crash in Perth, Australia, that resulted in the death of 51-year-old Thanh Phan.

The incident occurred on May 31, 2025, when Kemp allegedly struck Phan, who was waiting to cross the road, causing him to fall and sustain a fatal head injury.

Phan succumbed to his injuries on June 3, 2025, due to a brain bleed, leaving behind a grieving family who remembers him as a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend.

In the wake of this incident, Phan's family has called for improved safety regulations surrounding e-scooters to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
