Fatal head-on crash on the PM-401: Why does the road remain dangerous?

Answer

Why is the PM-401 between Porto Cristo and Manacor considered dangerous at night?

The PM-401 is used regularly by local workers, taxi drivers and delivery traffic, especially late at night and in the early morning. Residents point to a combination of bends, limited lighting and wet road surfaces, which can make this stretch especially risky in rain. Speed and fatigue are also seen as important factors.
