Drunk driver crash on the Soller train: Why a safety gap remains

Answer

Why is the Sóller train crossing in Palma considered a safety risk?

The crossing near Son Hugo is seen as risky because road traffic, traffic lights and the historic rail line come together in a busy urban area. Reports also suggest that vehicles have entered the track area before, which points to a wider problem than a single crash. Better barriers, clearer markings and stronger checks could reduce the danger.
