The accident took place at around 7 pm on the Ma-20, approximately 200 metres from the cemetery of the capital.
The Guardia Civil traffic police and several SAMU-061 ambulances were quickly dispatched to the scene of the incident. On arrival, the doctors attended to all the victims, but were unable to do anything to save the driver of the last vehicle involved in the accident because his injuries were extremely serious.
In the end, the man died and the only thing the doctors could do was to certify his death.
The accident caused major traffic jams and it also coincided with the departure of spectators from the Real Mallorca football match against Rayo Vallecano at the Son Moix stadium.
The Guardia Civil has taken charge of the investigation into the accident in order to clarify the causes and responsibility of the parties involved.

God rest his soul. But since they changed the speed on that road, people are up around 120 again rather than 100.
According to another publication (Cronica Balear), the death of the driver was caused by a faulty air bag. Apparently, when the air bag activated, the whole system detached itself and a metal part severed the driver's jugular vein. The car involved was a Citroën C3 (age of car not specified).
