Crash on the Ma-10: Bus collides head-on with a truck — What does this say about our roads?

Answer

Why do accidents happen so often on Mallorca’s mountain roads in summer?

Summer traffic in Mallorca puts more pressure on roads that were built for lighter local use. Tourist drivers, delivery trucks, buses and regular commuters often share the same narrow stretches, which increases the chance of mistakes. Hot weather, impatience and unfamiliarity with the route can make the situation worse.
