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

Answer

What road factors often contribute to head-on crashes in Mallorca?

Head-on crashes are often linked to narrow road sections, sharp bends, poor visibility and limited space for overtaking. In Mallorca, older road layouts were not designed for today’s volume and mix of traffic, which can make conflict points more likely. Missing or faded markings and weak roadside protection can add to the danger.
