How can I report a road hazard or accident while driving around Mallorca?

Driving through towns like Soller or along the winding roads of the Serra de Tramuntana requires vigilance, as narrow lanes and sharp bends can sometimes lead to unexpected hazards. If you come across an accident or road danger on routes such as the Ma-10 or Ma-13, first ensure your own safety and that of others by pulling over safely and turning on your hazard lights. For serious incidents, calling the island’s emergency number, 112, connects you directly to police, ambulance, and fire services who can dispatch help promptly.

Besides emergency responders, you can notify local authorities or the Mallorca Transport Consortium, which oversees much of the island’s infrastructure. The TIB bus network offices or local town halls in places like Alcudia or Pollenca often handle reports related to road conditions or traffic signal issues. When reporting, be ready to provide clear details—such as the exact location (perhaps near Cala Mondrago or along the Ma-19), the nature of the hazard, and any vehicles involved—to help authorities address the problem efficiently.

If you are driving a rental car, informing the rental company is also advisable, especially if the hazard damages the vehicle or poses a risk to other drivers. Rental agencies in Palma or Manacor usually have their own emergency contact procedures. Reporting hazards or accidents quickly not only aids timely assistance but also keeps Mallorca’s roads safer for residents and visitors alike.
