Pile-up at Es Molinar: Small mistake, big traffic jams — and what needs to be done

Answer

What happens after a chain collision on Mallorca roads?

Emergency services usually secure the area, check the people involved and work to reopen the road as quickly as possible. On busy routes, tow trucks and police closures can keep lanes blocked for longer than drivers expect. Even when nobody is seriously injured, the traffic disruption can stretch for kilometres.
