The two motorists had been involved in an incident near to the Son Oms industrial estate. The other driver, believed to be Spanish, then chased his "British" counterpart, overtaking him and then trying to block his path. The Briton stopped his vehicle on the hard shoulder and put it into reverse in an effort to escape. But the other driver followed suit, crashing into him at speed with both vehicles being seriously damaged.
The other driver can be seen shouting and raising his middle finger at the Briton. The Guardia Civil Traffic department are investigating the incident after it was reported by the Briton.
So far they have identified the other driver, who is expected to be charged with reckless driving while the investigation continues. The whole incident was caught on CCTV cameras with footage now being analysed are now being analysed by police.
The "British" driver and his wife, who was also in the vehicle, were said to be in a state of shock after the incident and couldn't believe what had happened. One British newspaper claimed that the incident was related to the anti-tourism wave which is sweeping through Spain at the moment.

its not tourism related. This level of anger is cocaine related. full stop.
No doubt the police will in the end put some if not all the blame on the tourist. Welcome to Mallorca,anti tourist demonstrations. ,Road rage by locals. Perhaps questions should be asked of those in charge about the tourist tax. Why not use to build social housing for Mallorcians. When new tourist developments how much is provided either on site or off site for Mallorcians? Get you own house in order. You have had it too good for too long without thinking or caring about the future for your dependents!
It’s Quite a Caos causing situation when News papers start headlining every single Diasagrement between people from wherever , Relax 🧘 and Act responsible !

Nothing to do with anti tourism. Just a bit of hood old fashioned road rage. I chase and ram spanish drivers all the time.
