Answer

Why do accidents sometimes happen on coastal roads in Mallorca?

Coastal roads in Mallorca can combine bends, changing light, traffic from tourists and limited space for manoeuvring. Morning glare, shadows and distraction from navigation screens can all make a road section feel more difficult than it looks. On unfamiliar routes, even a small mistake can quickly become dangerous.
