If found guilty, Teo could face a custodial sentence.
Police are expected to provide the court with CCTV footage, witness statements and physical evidence.
They will alleged Teo was driving on the wrong side of the road when she crashed her Toyota Landcruiser head-on into a Ross, 76, near Wiseman’s Ferry, NSW, on 26 September 2019.
