Kate Ritchie is spotted for the first time since her multi-vehicle car crash as she enjoys a night out with friends in Sydney

Kate Ritchie was seen in public for the first time since she was reportedly involved in a multi-vehicle collision in Sydney’s eastern suburbs earlier this month.

The Nova 96.9 radio presenter, 46, enjoyed a night out with friends at the Coogee Bay Hotel on Friday evening.

Wearing a plain white T-shirt tucked into a black miniskirt, Ritchie showed off her chic sense of style as she arrived at the venue surrounded by a young entourage.

She complemented her outfit with opaque tights and black leather ankle boots, while carrying a black blazer in one hand.

The brunette beauty accessorized with dazzling earrings, a gold watch and an $18,000 Chanel handbag.

Ritchie opted for a natural makeup palette with light brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.

Her accentuated locks were neatly styled in very loose curls with a side parting.

The former Home and Away actress was later seen chatting with her friends before heading inside.

Ritchie was reportedly behind the wheel of her black 2023 BMW X5 xDrive40i when the incident occurred in Dudley Street, Randwick, on Wednesday, November 6.

According to eyewitness accounts, Ritchie’s BMW collided with a parked Mitsubishi Pajero, forcing it off the road and into a parked Kia.

She exchanged details with the driver before quickly leaving to pick up her nine-year-old daughter Mae, who she shares with ex-husband Stuart Webb.

No roadside sobriety test was administered and NSW Police were not on scene.

It appears the drivers will handle the matter privately and Ritchie may have to pay a hefty repair bill.

The Kia’s owner, who wished to remain anonymous, explained that Kate said her personal assistant would follow up on the matter.
