A Palma court has ordered the imprisonment of the truck driver who caused a multiple-vehicle traffic accident on the Ma-13 motorway this Thursday and tested positive for alcohol. The 63-year-old man was brought before a judge this Friday morning, charged with a crime against road safety and another of serious disobedience.

The Civil Guard has identified the driver who on April 25 drove the wrong way on the Ma-19 highway towards Palma, on a very busy stretch between the airport and Coll d'en Rabassa. The events, recorded by various cameras, generated a situation of extreme danger and alarm among drivers.

One person died after being hit by a car on the highway near Palma Airport. According to information provided by the SAMU 061 (National Accident and Emergency Service), the man was approximately 45 years old. The incident occurred at approximately 11:10 p.m. on Monday.
