A 27-year-old Australian woman has been killed in a scooter crash in Bali.
It's understood she was a pillion passenger on a bike with her boyfriend driving at the time of the crash on Monday morning in Kuta.

The man, 28, wasn't badly hurt in the crash and was taken in by police for questioning before he was later released.
The couple were reportedly wearing helmets at the time.
