A MAN died after a car went into him while he was walking on the Andratx motorway near to Sant Agusti in the early hours of Sunday morning.
According to reports a British driver was taking his son to Palma airport when the accident occurred. It was also reported that the driver tested negative for drugs or alcohol, and that the 30-year old victim, a prison officer from Logroño who moved to Mallorca in September, had not been wearing reflective clothing or carrying any kind of light.
