An 18-year-old girl from Russia was killed in a motorcycle accident in Kuta, Bali Sunday (6/21) afternoon.
The single vehicle accident reportedly occurred when the victim lost control of her bike and hit a barrier on Sunset Road at the intersection of Jalan Kunti.
According to police, the Russian woman only identified as Anastasya suffered a head injury and died at the scene.
“The victim crashed into the middle road divider,” said Iptu Ketut Sukadi, Public Relations Officer for the Denpasar Police.
“The victim suffered a head injury and died at the scene,” added Iptu Sukadi.
Police reported that the victim was wearing a helmet but it came off in the accident.
