Third traffic death in a few days: Do Palma's night streets need to be safer?

Answer

Why are motorcyclists often involved in serious crashes in Mallorca?

Motorcyclists are more exposed in any collision, and Mallorca has a mix of fast roads, rural routes, and busy night-time traffic that can increase the risk. Poor visibility, tired drivers, and confusing junctions can make crashes more likely, especially when traffic conditions change quickly.
