Second fatal accident on the Camí de la Síquia — Why does this stretch remain dangerous?

Answer

Why do delivery vans and motorcycles create extra risk on Mallorca roads?

Delivery vans often stop, turn or change direction in traffic patterns that can be difficult for riders to predict, especially on narrow streets. When motorcycles are moving faster than surrounding traffic, the difference in speed and size can make collisions more severe. This is particularly sensitive on roads in Palma used by both commuters and late-night delivery traffic.
