Fatalities after collision near Santa Maria: A stop sign, two vans — and many unanswered questions

Answer

Why are delivery vans mentioned so often in Mallorca traffic accidents?

Delivery vans add pressure because they are on the road all day, often stop briefly in awkward places and can create unexpected conflict points. On Mallorca's narrower roads, that can be especially problematic when cyclists or drivers have little room to react. Better delivery timing and stricter parking rules can reduce some of that risk.
