A promising Futsal star is fighting for life in a Bali hospital after he was involved in a horrific quad bike accident.
Joshua Schuetz, 8, from Perth was on holiday with his family ahead of a football tournament he was meant to compete in this weekend.
The family were on a quad bike tour when Joshua suffered critical injuries in the most unimaginable accident on Wednesday.
He was a passenger on a bike being driven by his older brother when it flipped.
Joshua became trapped under the bike and had to be freed by his brother.
He suffered a fractured skull and brain bleed and remains in a coma in intensive care.
His parents were forced to fork out $20,000 on the spot before Joshua could be transferred to an intensive care unit at another hospital to be treated by a neurosurgeon.

Family friend Bernice Ariasa has created a fundraiser for the family to cover medical costs in Bali and help fund a medivac flight to fly Joshua home.
They had to pay a further $10,000 deposit for a blood transfusion, she wrote.
So far the bill is $60,000 but climbing (every) hour he is in hospital there.

A team of Australian doctors and nurses are on their way to transport Joshua to Perth Childrens Hospital.
