Australian man killed in high-speed motorbike crash in Buleleng district of Bali

An Australian man has died in a horrific high-speed motorbike crash in Bali after rounding a curve in one of the island’s northern provinces.

The man, in his 30s, was riding in the Buleleng regency on Friday when he lost control on a curve in the road, according to local media reports.

Buleleng Police Traffic Unit Chief, AKP Bachtiar Arifin, said the man was dragged along with his vehicle before hitting a roadblock.

He suffered severe head injuries.

Bueleleng Police said the man died in Parama Sidhi Singaraja Hospital despite attempts to revive him.

The crash occurred along the track in Wirabuana Hamlet, in Gitgit Village of the Buleleng regency.

The incident follows another Aussie, Shane Ramsey, suffering severe injuries in a scooter crash just a week ago.

Mr Ramsey, from Perth, and his friends were in Bali for a wedding when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole in Seminyak.

The tradie underwent surgery for his injuries – including a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, blood in his lungs and severe brain damage – and was brought back home to Royal Perth Hospital.

But family members of Mr Ramsey turned off his life support earlier this week after being told by doctors he would not regain brain function.

More to come.
