After head-on crash in Palma: Fleeing and many questions – 31-year-old dies

Answer

Why would a driver leave the scene after a serious crash in Mallorca?

People often leave the scene because of panic, fear of arrest, lack of a licence, or possible alcohol or drug use. In serious accidents, investigators also look at whether the driver was overwhelmed or unsure what to do. In Mallorca, such cases are treated very seriously because they can delay help for injured people.
