Answer

What happens when police investigate a fatal crash in Mallorca?

Police usually secure the scene, document the vehicles and road conditions, and collect evidence such as skid marks, debris and vehicle damage. They may also order an autopsy and technical checks, and later look into possible alcohol or drug involvement. If people left the scene, officers will also try to identify them through witness accounts and other evidence.
