Fatal accident in Alcúdia: Who is responsible — and what needs to change?

Answer

Was the fatal crash in Alcúdia caused by a wrong-way entry at a roundabout?

Official reports say a foreign couple entered a roundabout the wrong way around 1:30 a.m. and collided head-on with a vehicle that was driving correctly. The investigation is still ongoing, so alcohol, fatigue and possible technical issues have not yet been fully ruled in or out. What happened in Alcúdia is being treated as both an individual case and a wider road-safety problem.
