Australian Mother in Induced Coma After Bali Scooter Collision with Truck
A young Australian mother remains in an induced coma in a Bali hospital after her motorbike collided with a truck on the first day of a girls' holiday trip. Alivia Jane Campbell, 28, from the NSW Central Coast, arrived on the Indonesian island last Thursday for the much-anticipated vacation.
Devastating Accident in Tourist Area
Disaster struck the following morning when her motorcycle was involved in a collision with a truck while she was traveling to shops in Kuta, a popular tourist destination. The mother-of-two sustained severe brain trauma and a broken pelvis in the crash.
She remains on a ventilator in critical condition and is scheduled to undergo a second surgical procedure in the coming days. Her two daughters, aged three and five, remain at home in Australia with their father during this difficult time.
Family's Emotional Appeal and Mounting Medical Costs
Ms Campbell's family hopes to bring her back to Australia once she is medically stable enough to travel, as medical expenses continue to accumulate. Her sister Reese shared an emotional update on GoFundMe, stating: 'She is still in hospital in critical condition and continues to fight every single day after the devastating motorbike accident.'
The doctors are doing everything they can for her, Reese continued. 'This has been an incredibly difficult time for her family and loved ones, but the support we've seen from everyone has been truly overwhelming. It is helping give Alivia the best chance at recovery and helping support her and her two daughters during this unimaginable time.'
Siblings Urge Her to Keep Fighting
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Reese addressed her sister directly: 'Livy, you're going to get through this, you have no idea how loved you are. I can't live without you. I'm not losing you, you keep fighting baby. The girls need their mummy and I need my sister.'
Her brother David described the situation as 'an hour-by-hour situation' in an interview with the ABC. 'We still have a lot more tests and a lot more hoops to jump through before we're anywhere out of the woods. We've still got a long way to go but we're seeing some small improvements.'
Community Support and Official Assistance
Friends have rallied around the young mother, with one writing: 'Keep fighting angel, one of the strongest women I know.' The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed it is providing consular assistance to the family during this crisis.
Loved ones describe Ms Campbell as a 'vibrant beach lover' and dedicated mother. Reese previously wrote: 'Alivia is not only a friend to so many of us - she is also a devoted mother to two young daughters who need their mum home. She's still in an extremely bad way and not conscious but she's the strongest girl I've ever met, she's fighting so, so hard.'
The accident occurred just twelve hours after Ms Campbell's arrival in Bali, turning what was meant to be a joyful girls' trip into a medical emergency that has captured the attention and support of her community both in Australia and abroad.
