A serious accident occurred last Friday on the well-known cycle route near Sa Calobra on Mallorca. A 52-year-old cyclist had a serious fall and needed medical treatment as quickly as possible. Due to his serious injuries, he was flown by helicopter to the Son Espases hospital in Palma.
The accident occurred on one of the steepest sections of the route. The police were informed immediately and initiated rescue measures. The mountain rescue team was quickly on site to provide first aid and prepare the injured person for transportation.
The emergency services used a helicopter to bring the cyclist to hospital quickly and safely. In addition to the pilot, a nurse and a mountain rescuer were also on board to provide medical care during the flight.
The cyclist's medical condition is currently unclear and no further details of the specific injuries have been released. The route at Sa Calobra is renowned for its scenic beauty, but presents a significant challenge due to its steepness and technical demands. This accident once again underlines the need not to underestimate the risks of this popular route.
The authorities are reminding all cyclists and hikers to exercise the necessary caution and to always be adequately prepared for the challenging conditions in the mountains of Mallorca. Further investigations into the exact circumstances of the accident are underway.
