Fatal accident on the MA-5013 near Sant Jordi: Why does the stretch remain dangerous?

Answer

What makes early-morning driving in Mallorca more risky on rural roads?

Early mornings often bring fatigue, lower traffic visibility and time pressure for commuters and delivery drivers. On Mallorca’s rural roads, that can make bends, overtaking and oncoming traffic more difficult to judge. Reduced light can also make road markings and glare more of a problem.
