Fatal head-on crash on the PM-401: Why does the road remain dangerous?

Answer

Can aquaplaning happen on Mallorca country roads?

Yes, aquaplaning can happen anywhere a road has standing water and poor drainage, including rural stretches in Mallorca. It becomes more likely when speed is too high for the conditions or when the surface is already worn. On roads like the PM-401, rain can quickly turn a normal drive into a serious risk.
