Australian Mom Fights for Life After Bali Accident

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Corey with Adelaide News Today. A 28-year-old mother from Australia's Central Coast is fighting for her life in an induced coma at a Bali hospital. Olivia Campbell suffered severe brain trauma and major pelvic injuries, including a broken hip after a truck hit her scooter. She had just arrived in Indonesia for a girls' trip with friends. The accident happened early Friday morning in Kuta, only 12 hours after she landed. Olivia hopped on the scooter to grab a few things near the beach when the crash occurred. Her family got the devastating news during a work meeting and quickly connected via FaceTime to check on her. Family members are heartbroken, describing the sight of her on a ventilator as horrific. As a dedicated mom to her three-year-old and five-year-old daughters back home with their dad, Olivia is known as a vibrant beach lover. Her brother and wife are managing layers of grief while handling logistics from afar. Doctors report small improvements, but is still an hour-by-hour battle.

Meanwhile, bringing her back to Australia poses huge challenges, from flights to medical transport. They're worried her travel insurance might not cover the scooter ride without a local license, so a fundraiser is underway for costs.
