Valldemossa accident kills Syrian tourist after bus hits lamppost
A fatal accident occurred in Valldemossa, Mallorca, when a TIB bus accidentally struck a lamppost in Campdevànol Square. The impact caused the lamppost to detach and fall onto a group of people waiting at a bus stop.
A 36-year-old Syrian tourist was struck directly by the falling pole and died at the scene from injuries described by medical professionals as incompatible with life. A 42-year-old local woman also sustained a thoracic trauma during the incident.
The Valldemossa Local Police and the Civil Guard have launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the crash. Authorities plan to conduct drug and alcohol tests on the bus driver once her medical condition allows. The victim's wife and the driver both received medical attention for anxiety attacks following the event.
