On September 2, 28-year-old Josep Antoni Bonet was killed instantly when his Volkswagen Golf collided with a Nissan truck.

The 68-year-old truck driver, Ginés García, was taken to Son Espases Hospital in a critical condition. He passed away on Friday.

The accident took place around 6.30am on the road between Sant Jordi and S’Aranjassa in Palma. The Cabstar truck was carrying straw bales. The force of the impact was such that the car was completely wrecked. Fire and rescue worked for half an hour to release the truck driver.

Josep Antoni Bonet was a resident of Algaida, where he lived with his wife and two children. His family and friends - some 150 of them - organised a memorial service in the town square after his passing.
