Answer

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

There is no single explanation for why a driver might flee after a collision in Mallorca. Shock, panic, fear of fines or other legal consequences can all play a role, even when alcohol and drug tests later come back negative. In any case, leaving the scene can turn a traffic accident into a much more serious matter.
