Santanyí in shock: Suspected suicide after head-on collision on the MA-19

Answer

How do investigators find out whether a crash in Mallorca was deliberate?

Investigators look at braking distance, skid marks, vehicle damage and the direction of travel to understand what happened. They may also examine onboard computers, event data recorders, tachograph data and any available camera footage. In cases like this, even small details can matter, especially if there are questions about steering, braking or driver behaviour.
