13 Chinese Tourists Injured in Rollover Accident on Bali Mandara Toll Road
On the morning of Friday, December 1, 2025, a serious traffic accident involving a tourist minivan carrying Chinese visitors occurred on the Bali Mandara Toll Road. The incident resulted in at least 13 people being injured and rushed to the nearby Bali Mandara Hospital for medical treatment.
According to reports from Balipost.com, the accident took place at approximately 8:45 am when the minivan, reportedly traveling at a high speed along the southbound lane of the toll road, struck a light pole and subsequently overturned. The vehicle was carrying 13 Chinese tourists, a guide, and the driver at the time of the crash.
Police investigations have suggested that the driver, identified by the initials ML, may have fallen asleep while driving, leading to the loss of control and rollover of the vehicle. Fortunately, despite the severity of the accident, preliminary information indicates that the injuries sustained by those on board were minor and they have been treated at the hospital.
This unfortunate incident follows a similarly tragic accident in North Bali on November 14, 2025, where five Mainland Chinese tourists lost their lives in a minivan crash. Both events have raised ongoing concerns regarding road safety for tourists traveling in Bali.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash on the Bali Mandara Toll Road to determine exact causes and to explore measures to improve transportation safety for visitors on the island.
Tourism officials and transport safety advocates emphasize the need for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations and enhanced driver vigilance, especially when transporting tourists, to prevent future accidents.
The Bali Mandara Hospital remains on alert to provide emergency medical care in such incidents and authorities urge all travelers and drivers to exercise caution while on the roads.
