Alcúdia: Who Was Really at the Wheel? A Reality Check on Alcohol, Responsibility and Investigations

Answer

How reliable are early statements after a traffic accident in Mallorca?

Early statements can be confused by shock, pain, medication or intoxication, so they are not always reliable on their own. Investigators usually need physical evidence, witness accounts and medical records to work out what really happened. In Mallorca, as in other places, the first version of events may change once the full evidence is reviewed.
