Answer

What happens when a vehicle burns after a crash in Mallorca?

A fire can destroy important evidence such as paint marks, brake traces, and small parts that help investigators understand the impact. That makes the reconstruction of the crash more difficult and increases the value of witness statements and video footage. It can also make it harder to identify the vehicle’s last occupants quickly.
