A Bugatti Veyron, legendary for its power and luxury, became the center of attention this Monday in Majorca after a collision near a private residence in the municipality of Bunyola. The sports car, valued at around 2.1 million euros and boasting roughly 900 horsepower, did not involve the usual occupant and was part of a scene that surprised residents and onlookers alike. The reasons behind the crash remain unclear as investigations continue.
The incident happened around 11 in the morning on Alzina Street, a route connecting the Sa Coma urbanization with the area near Joan Mart Hospital. It is a road not heavily traveled, yet it was there that the luxury vehicle veered off its course. The car’s impact was reported near a countryside dwelling where a hut constructed with butane cylinders stood. The cylinders were completely destroyed and scattered across the ground, and fragments lay on the road surface where the driver had attempted to brake to avoid a more serious collision. Witnesses described skid marks and braking traces showing the vehicle struggled to stop before the impact.
Civil Guard officers along with the Bunyola Local Police were dispatched to the scene to secure the area and take initial statements. The driver of the vehicle reportedly did not suffer injuries, and the front section of the Bugatti sustained heavy damage. Local authorities indicated that the driver provided a friendly or non-serious accident report, and there were discussions about the sequence of events in the minutes that followed.
The presence of such a rare and extravagant car in a rural setting raised questions about whether the vehicle was being used for a private test drive or simply as part of a leisure trip during a holiday. It is known that the individual connected with the car was in Majorca for a break with family and friends, but official details about ownership or why the car was in that locale were not disclosed in the immediate aftermath. The scene, however, reflected a moment of tension as emergency personnel worked to clear debris and ensure road safety for passing traffic. Observers noted a quiet mood in the hours after the incident, with residents awaiting updates from authorities on the exact cause and potential implications for nearby properties and road safety protocols.
As the investigation proceeds, authorities will examine vehicle data, witness statements, and any available surveillance footage to reconstruct the chain of events. The accident underscores the need for vigilance on even sparsely trafficked roads and the importance of proper storage and protection of nearby properties when high-horsepower vehicles are involved. Local residents are keeping an eye on the incident, hoping for a timely and transparent explanation from the authorities about how the crash occurred and what measures will be taken to prevent a recurrence in the area. The case remains under formal inquiry, with findings expected to be released through the appropriate channels in due course.
