Car overturns and burns on the airport highway: What the traffic jam tells us

Answer

Why can a single accident on the Ma-19 cause long traffic jams around Mallorca's airport?

Because the Ma-19 is a main artery to Palma and the airport, a blockage can quickly bottleneck all lanes. Diversions may push congestion onto feeder roads, causing long standstills even after a minor crash.
