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

Answer

Why is police in Mallorca treating this crash as a possible suicide attempt?

The investigation widened after the driver’s wife reportedly told emergency services that he had spoken about suicidal thoughts shortly before the collision. That led the Guardia Civil to consider whether the crash was deliberate rather than purely accidental. Technical evidence and witness statements are now being checked to clarify what happened.
