A Sydney man has been killed in Bali after his scooter collided with a truck that reportedly ran a red light.
Confronting CCTV footage shared to Instagram showed the moment the rider swerved in an attempt to avoid the truck, but slid underneath and was crushed.
The Australian man, identified by the Daily Telegraph as Peter Robinson, 59, was killed while riding through the busy Bali intersection, which runs from Kuta to Sanur, on Friday afternoon.
He reportedly suffered severe head injuries and died at the scene.
The truck driver, an East Java man, has been arrested for driving through a red light, according to Indonesian media reports.
“The truck driver violated the traffic law. The truck kept going when it [the traffic light] was already red,” Bali Traffic police chief Adi Sulistyo Utomo told reporters.
“We have detained the truck driver.”
