Montana Rose Bowd was seated next to Dhirren Randhawa when he allegedly hit Charlie Stevens at Schoolies

The woman sitting next to the Schoolies alleged killer driver has told police Charlie Stevens “ran across the road, into the path” of the car.

The woman seated alongside alleged killer teenager driver Dhirren Singh Randhawa has told police the son of SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens “ran across the road, into the path” of the vehicle moments before the fatal impact, according to documents filed with the court.

Montana Rose Bowd is one of four eyewitnesses interviewed by police after Dhirren, 18, of Encounter Bay, was arrested and charged with having caused Charlie Stevens’ death by dangerous driving. Ms Bowd is not accused of any wrongdoing.

Documents filed with the Christies Beach Magistrates Court name Ms Bowd as the female witness who was a passenger in Dhirren’s car at Schoolies last Friday, but do not outline her relationship with him.

Prosecutors allege Ms Bowd told police she observed a few males on the western side of the road, and partially on the footpath, and another male on the eastern side of the road.

They allege she said the male on the eastern side of the road ran across the road into the path of Dhirren’s car.

Ms Bowd, it is alleged in the documents, told police Dhirren drove a short distance away and called his mother to ask whether he should call police or attend a police station in person.

During that conversation, Ms Bowd allegedly said, police arrived and Mr Randhawa surrendered himself.

Ms Bowd’s version of events, yet to be tested in court, appears to contrast with the account given by three male eyewitnesses - Charlie’s friends, who allegedly told police they were all waiting for the Schoolies bus to take them back to Victor Harbor.

The same court documents allege those witnesses claim Dhirren’s car performed a U-turn, started to travel on the incorrect side of the road and struck Charlie.

As part of bail conditions, Dhirren has been banned from contacting the four eyewitnesses to the alleged hit and run crash.

The Advertiser can also reveal both SA Police, and a veteran magistrate, initially refused Dhirren bail before the state’s top prosecutor consented to his conditional release.

Dhirren has yet to plead to allegations he killed Charlie by dangerous driving near last week’s Schoolies celebrations.

When he faced court on Monday, Director of Public Prosecutions Martin Hinton KC said he did not oppose bail so long as several conditions were attached.

Under the terms of his $15,000 bail agreement, Dhirren may not drive, be in the driver’s seat of any car or reapply for his licence, which police disqualified upon his arrest.

He is required to reside at the Fleurieu Peninsula home of his mother, hypnotherapist and author Amreeta Stara, be of good behaviour and attend court again in March.

Dhirren, a former apprentice barber and Victor Harbor High School graduate, was further banned from leaving the state, had to surrender his passport and – as is standard for all defendants – must not possess a firearm or ammunition.

His bail does not require him to report in at police stations, nor does it impose home detention conditions or prohibit him from moving within the community.

Charlie was the 101st person to die on SA roads so far this year.
