Police allege Coman called 000 after the incident about 7pm Saturday and said she had driven the car at Mr Crandley.
When police arrived Mr Crandley was still under the front right wheel, police allege.
Coman's lawyer Gino Milani told the court Mr Crandley "leapt" in front of the car is Coman was attempting to drive away from the property during the "tragic accident".
He told the court there was little damage to the car, indicating there had been no "great impact" between the vehicle and Mr Crandley.
"The cause of death has not yet been established because we're waiting for the results of a post mortem examination," he said.
Magistrate Peter Hasted denied bail for Coman and remanded her in custody until a committal mention on September 24.
