Rachel Lisa Van Oyen faces two counts of careless driving causing death but has failed to appear in person, with her lawyer saying she is “fighting the trial”.
Her seven-year-old daughters Maisie and Riley were killed when the car they were in left the road and hit a tree off the Great Eastern Freeway at Carribean, about 300 kilometers west of Perth.
Police will allege their mother was behind the wheel at the time of the accident on the morning of February 18.
The trio were returning home to Halls Head from Kalgoorlie and detectives said they were all wearing seat belts.
After the crash, 31-year-old Oyen was taken to hospital but later released.
She will appear in court again in August.
