Death of a Three-Year-Old in Coll d'en Rabassa: What Really Lies Behind the Accident

Answer

Can a driver fainting at the wheel really cause a serious accident in Mallorca?

Yes. A sudden medical episode can lead to a driver losing control within seconds, and in a built-up area that can be enough to mount a pavement or hit pedestrians. Even when a health issue is the immediate trigger, road design, speed and lack of barriers can determine how severe the outcome becomes.
