PALMA 2 May. (EUROPA press) –
The Tib bus that this Thursday caused the death of a cyclist in Pollença had all the revisions in order, the last one made on March 31, and it had not been detected that it had any mechanical failure.
He has exposed this Friday at the press conference after the Consell de Government the spokesman of the regional executive, Antoni Costa, who has transferred his condolences to the allegates of the deceased.
Both the Government and the Consortium of Transportation of Mallorca (CTM), have assured, are from the first moment in contact with both the concessionary company that serves in line 321 of the TIB and with the Civil Guard, which has assumed the investigations of the accident.
“The CTM provides total and absolute collaboration with the Civil Guard to clarify and determine the causes of the accident. The investigation is open, no line of investigation has yet been completed and we do not know what the causes can be,” said the autonomic vice president also.
The regional executive, he announced, has asked the concessionary company about the bus that caused the accident. It follows, he said, that the vehicle “had all the reviews in order and no mechanical error had been reported.”
The last review, has underlined Costa, “is very recent”, on March 31. The last ITV is February of this year and the bus circulation permit is November 2020, so “it does not have much antiquity,” he added.
“Prudence, we have to wait for the conclusions of the Civil Guard and, how can it be otherwise, the collaboration of the CTM in that regard is and will continue to be total and absolute,” he concluded.
Mechanical failure, a hypothesis
The Civil Guard as one of the possible hypothesis that was a mechanical failure of the bus that caused the accident, which ended the life of a 40 -year -old man. However, the investigations remain open for the complete clarification of the facts.
It was about 12.20 am on Thursday when a TIBROL bus overwhelmed a group of cyclists in the MA-2200, one of them died, two were serious injuries and, another, less serious.
The serious injured, two men aged 42 and 43, were transferred to the Son Espase hospital, where they remain admitted to the ICU although they are stable.
Likewise, three people and a six -month -old girl, who was treated in the place were slightly injured. The rest, two women of 40 and 57 and a man of 37, were transferred to the Wall Hospital.
