A New Zealander has been killed and two others have been injured in Indonesia when a Contiki tour van went off a cliff.
The van was heading to a local surf beach on the Gili Islands on Thursday when it went over a cliff, rolling several times.
The name of the dead New Zealander has not been released but a Ministry of Foreign and Trade spokesperson has confirmed the death.
Christchurch woman Abbey Moore, 29, was one of those injured in the crash.
She is in hospital in Lombok with a dislocated shoulder, a broken wrist and collarbone and suspected broken ribs.
Her mother Rose McConchie told the Herald she spoke to her daughter over the phone yesterday was relieved she wasn't more seriously injured or killed.
"It seems like she was very lucky to have escaped with the injuries she has," her mother said.
"She was very lucky she wasn't killed."
Abbey's friend was in the tour van behind the one that crashed and witnessed it go off the cliff.
"She saw it all happen which was not very nice for her at all."
Ms McConchie said her daughter sounded "very groggy" on the phone and she still did not know the full extent of her injuries.
She did not know if her daughter would be transported to Bali, or directly to Australia or New Zealand.
"If she stays there we will go over but she is being cared for very well by her friend who is traveling with her who is a nurse."
Ms McConchie said she had received good support from the Contiki tour company and the New Zealand Consulate.
She said she did not know if her daughter knew the New Zealander who had died.
"Abbey and her friend had just joined the tour so I'm not sure if they knew the person," Ms McConchie said.
"All I can say is, it is very sad."
