Wayne Ashley Philp, 48, appeared in Tamworth Local Court on Monday on three charges stemming from the April 20 crash on Scott Road.
Philp was not required to enter pleas to the charges of dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm, driving while suspended and grievous bodily harm by an unlawful act.
Magistrate Julie Soars adjourned the case to later this month and continued Philp’s bail.
Philp was charged in early-May following an investigation by Tamworth police.

Police allege Philp was driving a Nissan X-trail when it collided head-on with an oncoming Holden Cruz.
A 65-year-old woman was hospitalised with serious abdominal and lower leg injuries after the head-on.
The woman, who was behind the wheel of the Holden Cruz, had been placed in an induced coma, police said in May.
In April, dramatic dashcam footage, captured by a camera in the car travelling in front of the Holden Cruz, showed a Nissan X-trail in the parking lane on the wrong side of Scott Road, just before it collides with a Holden Cruz.
