Answer

Can police in Mallorca charge a driver even if nobody is seriously injured?

Yes. A driver can still face an investigation for endangering road safety if alcohol was involved and the driving created a serious risk. The absence of major injuries does not cancel the offence. What matters is the level of danger caused on the road.
