A young boy from Mallorca died following a car crash on December 30 in Cercs (Barcelona).
The boy's father and older brother remain in a critical condition in hospital. The accident occurred on the C-16 highway, one of the main roads to the Pyrenees.
Two cars collided head-on, and five people were injured, including two minors. Eight fire crews and nine ambulances were dispatched to the scene. One of the victims had to be extricated after being trapped.
The nursery school in Palma, which the boy attended, has issued a statement: "Nothing can be said to lessen the pain of such an inexplicable tragedy … let us pray for them. For those who are gone and those who remain."
