A Scots beautician was left fighting for her life after a horrific scooter accident in Bali.
Charlene Morrissey fell from the vehicle after being struck by a car and suffered serious arm injuries when she was then hit by a lorry.
The 33-year-old, of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, who is in a critical condition, had multiple blood transfusions as doctors battled to save her life.
WHAT IS HER SITUATION NOW?
However, the hospital stopped treatment after learning that Ms Morrissey’s travel insurance company would not pay.
Her family have since forked out £50,000 for medical bills. They were able to raise the cash within 48 hours of the accident earlier this month.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?
A skin graft failed, and Ms Morrissey now faces further surgery.
Doctors plan to save her arm through a pedicle flap, where the hand is stitched to the abdomen to allow skin to grow.
The beautician’s friends have launched a GoFundMe page to help pay for the rising medical bills and to support her family, who have flown to the Indonesian island.

Around £100,000 has been raised through thousands of donations. A family member thanked those who had donated, saying the support had been ‘overwhelming’.
Ms Morrissey has lived and worked on the island for six months. Her family are trying to get her flown from Bali to Australia and are in talks with the UK foreign embassy to send her to Perth for treatment.
