A Chinese campervan driver will appear in court next week accused of causing a severe brain injury to a Canadian tourist.
Visitor Wei Zhang, 34, has been charged with careless driving causing injury to 59-year-old Bernard Gendron when he allegedly knocked him off his bike on Otago Peninsula on Saturday.
Zhang's case was called before a registrar at the Dunedin District Court yesterday but the matter was adjourned until today.
No application for name suppression was made.
Meanwhile, Gendron was in a serious but stable condition in Dunedin Hospital's intensive care unit.
