Answer

What happens if a car involved in a crash in Mallorca was stolen or not legally owned?

If a car was stolen, borrowed without permission, or not properly transferred, that can complicate both the criminal case and any insurance claims. Investigators then need to establish who had control of the vehicle and whether it was being used with legal authority. In Mallorca, that kind of detail can matter just as much as speed or road conditions.
