Love Island star begs fans for help as she finds Bali tourist ‘badly injured’ on side of road and rushes him to hospital: ‘He needs critical surgery’

Love Island star Courtney Stubbs begged her Instagram followers for help on Tuesday when she found a ‘badly injured’ man on the side of the road in Bali.

The Aussie reality TV star, 26, and her partner Jack Millar discovered American tourist Nariman Vaziri, 34, in a ‘life or death situation’ following a major car accident.

She rushed the man to hospital in critical condition, but doctor’s were unable to operate on him without the permission of a family member.

Stubbs uploaded a video to her 112,000 followers asking them to help find Vaziri’s family so he could receive life-saving surgery.

‘An emergency in Bali, we are trying to seek this gentleman’s family’s details,’ she told her fans.

‘We have contacted the American consult and they are unable to contact his family. He is very badly injured, it’s life or death. We have tried calling everyone.

‘We don’t know where he is staying, we don’t know who he is with, we just found him on the side of the road and we got him to the hospital.

‘He needs to have critical surgery but they [doctors] can’t approve it until we get in contact with his family.’

Thankfully, Stubbs was inundated with helpful messages from followers and she later revealed she was able to find Vaziri’s mother.

‘We found Nariman’s mum! The hospital is in contact. Thank you so much to every single person that has helped,’ she wrote alongside a selfie of her and Jack.

Stubbs and Millar, 29, went on to say Vaziri successfully received the surgery he needed and is now in a stable condition.

‘We have spoken to Nariman’s aunty on the phone. His dad is coming to Bali to be with him. We will try to visit him in the hospital tomorrow,’ Stubbs said.

Stubbs informed Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that Vaziri ‘is in serious yet stable condition’.

‘Out of respect for his family, we don’t want to share more,’ she added, before revealing what the most harrowing part of this experience was.

‘The saddest part of this whole accident is that he was surrounded by locals when found and no one was trying to help get him to the hospital.

‘They were just filming. Some men helped put him in the ambulance once we begged them too.’

‘It’s really important for people to know it’s extremely hard to get in contact with ambulance services via the phone in emergency situations,’ she added.

‘Honestly, Jack and I didn’t hesitate to stop and help as we knew the hospital was nearby. It’s just the right thing to do.

‘His family is arriving in Bali tonight and tomorrow to be with him.

‘We have learnt from this the importance of traveling with physical ID and to have emergency contacts set up on person or phones.

‘Everyone deserves to be helped in an emergency and we hope anyone else would have done the same.’

'We have spoken to Nariman's aunty on the phone. His dad is coming to Bali to be with him. We will try to visit him in the hospital tomorrow,' Stubbs updated her followers hours later

Following the accident, Stubbs urged her followers to protect themselves by setting up emergency contacts and a medical ID on their smartphones.

‘Please, if you have an iPhone or an emergency setting to set up emergency contact details, please do those now,’ she said on Instagram.

‘If you learn anything from what has happened to [Vaziri], if we had been able to contact his family sooner it could have changed something.’

Both iPhone and Android smartphones have emergency contact and medical ID options available for their users.
