Tributes pour in for Queensland 'angel' killed in Bali scooter crash

The Queensland woman who died after a scooter crash in Bali has been remembered as an "angel" with a "beautiful smile".

Sophia Martini, 27, from Townsville, was a passenger on the scooter driven by her partner on Monday morning.

The pair, who were reportedly wearing helmets, were in Kuta for a friend's wedding when their bike crashed around midnight.

Ms Martini suffered severe leg injuries and was rushed to Denpasaar Hospital. She suffered major blood loss and died upon arrival.

Her boyfriend Steele Nugent, 28, was not badly injured in the crash.

He was detained by police and has since been released, but has been advised not to leave Bali until the investigation has been completed.

Ms Martini had been working as a trainee at Townsville City Council since May and was completing a Certificate II in conservation and land management.

A friend Trina Hurst, shared an online tribute for Ms Martini, whom she called an “angel” who “lost her wings”.

“This was the life that hardly begun, no time to find your place in the sun, no time to do all you could have done,” Ms Hurst wrote.

“You were here one moment, then you were gone.”

Ms Martini is the fourth Australian to die in a motorbike or scooter-related accident in Bali in the past year.

In April this year, Queensland woman Ella Knights was killed in a scooter crash.

Last year, 16-year-old Lochie Connaughton and 42-year-old Adrian Newon died just a month apart, both in scooter and motorbike accidents.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman said it was providing consular assistance to the family of the woman and a man detained and released after the accident.

DFAT continues to warn Australians about riding scooters in the Indonesian city.

“A number of foreigners, including Australians, have been killed or seriously injured in motorcycle accidents in tourist areas, particularly in Bali,” its SmartTraveller website states.

“Motorcycle riders and their passengers must wear a correctly fastened and approved helmet.”
