Mallorcan Singer Jaume Anglada Remains Critical Following Hit-and-Run Accident
Jaume Anglada, a well-known Mallorcan singer and close friend of King Felipe VI, remains in a critical condition following a hit-and-run accident on August 8, 2025, in Palma. The incident occurred around 1:30 AM at number 330 of Joan Miró Avenue, near Cala Mayor in Palma.
Anglada was riding his Vespa when he was hit by a car that fled the scene. The singer sustained extremely serious head trauma, multiple fractures (ribs, hip, wrists), and has been hospitalized at Son Espases Hospital in the ICU. His health status is delicate, with fluctuating signs, and he is being gradually woken and sometimes responds incorrectly to questions. His recovery will require a long rehabilitation process.
The driver responsible for the accident, a 20-year-old man, made an illegal U-turn and had a blood alcohol level three times above the legal limit at the time of the accident. The perpetrator was arrested at his home a few hours later, thanks to eyewitnesses who noted the license plate. The Civil Guard arrested the driver, and after appearing before a judge, he was placed in provisional imprisonment charged with serious negligent injury, failure to render aid, and driving under the influence of alcohol. The investigation is ongoing and considered very serious.
The incident has caused significant concern within the Royal Family and the broader community, with many expressing support for Anglada and monitoring his medical updates closely. The driver has expressed regret for the incident and apologized.
It is important to note that access to updates regarding Anglada's condition is only available for registered users on certain platforms.
