Last week, Rebecca Ode was enjoying an extended holiday in Bali, rediscovering herself and immersing herself in a new community, after a difficult couple of years.
This week, the 36-year-old's family is on a desperate mission to bring her home, after Rebecca was horrifically injured on her overseas trip.
The Newcastle based woman was found on Nusa Lembongan and was treated for a brain hemorrhage, plus shattered cheekbones, eye socket and collarbone. Her head injuries were so severe, she was barely recognisable, and required 14 hours of surgery at Denpasar's Ngoerah General Hospital.
Now police have revealed what actually happened.
A treating doctor from the hospital has confirmed Rebecca's injuries were consistent with a road accident, according to ABC News.
Dr Bagus Mahadewa said Rebecca had regained conciousness but had no recollection of the accident.
They believe she crashed a scooter into a parked motorcycle. The report says it was a clear night with a dark sky and little traffic around.
Rebecca's sister, Jordyn, is urging the public to support their family by donating to a GoFundMe page to help bring her home.
Rebecca's family issue plea for help.
Following the accident, Rebecca's family rushed to be by her side and hope to bring her back to Australia as soon as possible.
"Becci has had a terrible accident in Bali and Jordyn (Bec's sister) and I were called here yesterday morning, arriving about 9.30pm last night," Bec’s mother, Shari Ode shared via social media.
"Bec went into surgery at 9pm Bali time. She has some terrible injuries and we are trying to get her home as soon as she is stable."
Her sister's partner, Jesse Wilton, told Mamamia it was initially unclear how Rebecca sustained such horrific injuries.
"She has had reconstructive surgery to repair her facial structure and both sides of her head," Jesse said.
