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

Answer

Why do heavy trucks make roads like the MA-5013 more dangerous?

Heavy trucks need more space, take longer to brake and can make passing more difficult on narrow roads. When they share the road with cars, delivery traffic and buses, the margin for error becomes smaller. On stretches like the MA-5013 near Sant Jordi, that mixed traffic can quickly become a safety problem.
