Foreign Affairs officials in Indonesia are supporting the families of a New South Wales Central Coast man killed and a woman injured in a scooter crash in Bali.<\/p>\n

Bryce Alexander Black, 33, was killed in the crash in the North Kuta District on December 28.<\/p>\n

His passenger and partner, Samantha Baillie, also 33, was badly injured.<\/p>\n

The ABC has obtained the incident report from Badung police, giving a timeline before the scooter, ridden by the two Australians, crashed head-on into a car.<\/p>\n

The report said the incident happened at 4:30am, local time, on a “straight, two-lane asphalt district road”.<\/p>\n

“[There was] an unobstructed view, [it was] clear weather, early morning,” the report said.<\/p>\n

“The Yamaha Nmax driver overtook the vehicle in front of him, turning right across the roadway without noticing the Honda Mobilio driver \u2026 travelling in the opposite direction\/in his lane, resulting in a collision\/accident.”<\/p>\n

The report said Mr Black was driving the Yamaha scooter, and that he suffered a “severe head injury” and died at the scene.<\/p>\n

The report said Ms Baillie suffered facial abrasions, bleeding from the ear and was taken to BIMC Sunset Road Hospital.<\/p>\n

Neither Mr Black nor Ms Baillie had travel insurance.<\/p>\n

An online fundraising page has since been set up, raising more than $50,000 for Ms Baillie’s medical care.<\/p>\n

The family is seeking to bring Ms Baillie home.<\/p>\n

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement, saying officials were offering support.<\/p>\n

“The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the families of an Australian who died and an Australian injured in Bali,” the statement read.<\/p>\n

“We send our deepest condolences to the families at this difficult time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foreign Affairs officials in Indonesia are supporting the families of a New South Wales Central Coast man killed…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":489574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4740,10002,220827,4903,42127,11767,110519,50,220828,11768],"class_list":{"0":"post-489573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-bali","10":"tag-bryce-alexander-black","11":"tag-crash","12":"tag-dead","13":"tag-fatal","14":"tag-kuta","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-samantha-baillie","17":"tag-scooter"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115831568097319127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
