A man accused of killing his cousin and critically injuring his brother in a drunken vehicle accident in country Victoria appeared in court for the first time.
On Tuesday, Benalla Magistrates' Court granted bail to 23-year-old Rory Teiffel, charged with culpable driving causing death for the Easter Sunday accident in Wangaratta soon after 7pm.
Mr. Teiffel, his 16-year-old brother, and two cousins were travelling from a function when the automobile lost control on a right-hand bend on Greta Rd, slammed through a wire fence, hit a tree, and flipped.
A 26-year-old Beaconsfield man died from "major head trauma," while Mr. Teiffel's younger sibling was taken to The Royal Melbourne Hospital by emergency personnel.
A 24-year-old Beaconsfield male, the deceased's brother, was taken to RMH with significant injuries.
Mr. Teiffel, who builds sheds for his elder brother, was pulled out of the white Jeep Grand Cherokee by a passerby and taken to Wangaratta Hospital for observation, police said.
The court heard his Wangaratta Hospital discharge report showed 0.105 blood alcohol content.
“The accused was driving at excessive and dangerous speeds, whilst under the influence of a blood alcohol result more than twice the legal limit,” according to the police report opposing bail.
On Monday, Wangaratta Police Station accused Mr. Teiffel, who lives with his parents.
On Tuesday, his family supported him as he entered the little Benalla courtroom in handcuffs.
Magistrate Marita Altman termed the allegations "extremely serious" with "devastating" repercussions.
However, Judge Altman did not believe Mr. Teiffel constituted a community risk.
He was charged with dangerous driving causing death and two counts of careless driving causing serious injury, according to court documents.
July 4 is his court date.

While Mr. Teiffel's younger brother, also named Mr. Teiffel, sustained similar injuries and was sent to The Royal Melbourne Hospital after being extracted by emergency services, a 26-year-old man from Beaconsfield suffered what the police termed "major head trauma" and was pronounced dead at the site of the accident.
In addition, a 24-year-old male from Beaconsfield who was the dead person's brother was sent to RMH for treatment of significant injuries.
A bystander reportedly assisted Mr. Teiffel in stepping out of the white Jeep Grand Cherokee before he was sent to Wangaratta Hospital for observation. According to the police, Mr. Teiffel works for his older brother in the construction of sheds.
The court was presented with a discharge report from Wangaratta Hospital which said the defendant had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.105.
According to the police summary, which is included as part of their list of reasons for opposing bail, "the accused was driving at excessive and dangerous speeds, while under the influence of a blood alcohol result that was more than twice the legal limit."
