Investigation

Palma Local Police have responded to the area to take charge of the search. According to the police force, a parked car tried to enter traffic and struck another vehicle that was moving correctly. The vehicle that was struck then reversed and struck the 80-year-old pedestrian.

However, as the investigation progresses, the Local Police have provided a new version of events. The injured person is the driver of the vehicle in the first accident, who was moving correctly and got out of the car to inspect the damage and speak to the other driver. Apparently, according to the police force, while the man was out of the vehicle, another vehicle emerged from the parking lot and struck him. The Local Police indicated that the driver became nervous and aggravated the accident with an incorrect maneuver, initially upon noticing the impact. In any case, the report is not yet closed and the investigation continues to clarify the facts.
