A 59-year-old woman died on Friday morning following a head-on collision.
The accident occurred at around 5.30am on the MA-12, which is the Carretera Alcudia-Arta main road. It was at kilometre 16 between Son Serra and Can Picafort in the municipality of Santa Margalida.
The woman's car left the road and fell down an embankment. When medics arrived, all they could do was certify her death.
The 39-year-old male driver of the other car suffered various cuts and bruises.
He later tested positive for both alcohol and drugs. It would appear that his car crossed into the opposite lane and hit the woman's car head-on.

It's ok, he was out of his mind on drink and drugs, should get off with a slapped wrist.
Hang this drunk. My condolences to the family who lost there mother/daughter.
Drivers today under the influence of Alcohol and Drugs ,even both. Should be banned for life.
As ever, the innocent suffer ( and die) and the guilty live, and he’ll probably get a stupefyingly light sentence too. Sometimes it feels like Russian Roulette every time I set off in the car.
