Serious Head-On Crash in Paguera: Why Does the MA-1 Remain So Dangerous?

Answer

Why are there so many serious accidents on the MA-1 in Mallorca?

The MA-1 combines several risk factors: fog or poor visibility, fast-moving traffic, curves, and stretches with limited lighting. In Mallorca, the road also carries a mix of local drivers, commuters, tourists, and rental cars, which can make reactions less predictable. Authorities and residents also point to alcohol, speed, and blind spots as recurring problems.
