Young Aussie fighting for life after a motorbike accident in Bali and in desperate need of money for medical bills – amid a warning about common motorbike insurance mistake

Jayden Gram suffered serious injuries in a motorbike accident while celebrating his graduation in Bali, and needs surgery there before he can return to Australia. His family is facing substantial medical costs, prompting a fundraiser and renewed advice for Australian travellers to check their insurance.

Gram broke his femur and wrist and sustained injuries to his face and body; he had also lost his phone, leaving his mother unsure of his condition before she flew to Bali. As of Wednesday morning, the fundraiser had collected $7,790 towards a $100,000 target. A travel insurance expert warned that motorbike cover may depend on holding the right Australian licence and an International Driving Permit, meeting engine-size limits, wearing helmets and following local rules.
