Blockade on the Ma-10: Why a Flat-Tire Bus Paralyzes the Tramuntana

Answer

Why can a tyre blowout block traffic on Mallorca's Ma-10 between Deià and Sóller?

On the Ma-10, a tyre blowout on a narrow mountain road leaves little room for passing, particularly with large coaches. When two coaches meet, there isn’t enough space for safe passage, and emergency services can be delayed while traffic builds up.
