British tourist faces 28,000 pound bill after Greek quadbike crash

A British mother was left with a £28,000 medical bill after a car crashed into her quadbike during a holiday in Greece, the Daily Mail reported. Diane Steadman suffered a broken back in the collision. The accident took place on the Greek island of Skiathos as she was returning the hired vehicle. [1]

Steadman was on the final day of a two-week holiday costing £2,200 with her partner, Mick Raftery, when the crash happened on September 11. According to the Daily Mail, the couple had been using the quadbike to visit various beaches across the island before the vehicle was hit by a car. [1]

The medical costs were not covered because Steadman discovered she had purchased the wrong travel insurance policy for riding a quadbike, the Daily Mail reported. Skiathos is an island located in Greece, where holidaymakers frequently rent vehicles for local travel. [1][4]
