Well-known singer from Mallorca Jaume Anglada (Jaume Anglada) remains in the intensive care unit of Hospital Son Espases in Palma. His condition is described as stable but serious. Doctors placed the 52-year-old performer in a medically induced coma to help stabilize him after sustaining severe injuries. In the coming days, he is expected to undergo at least two urgent surgeries: first, surgeons will address his fractured femur, and the next day they will operate on his jaw. Medical professionals note that his recovery will be long and challenging.
The tragic incident occurred on Thursday night. Anglada, who was riding a motorcycle, was struck by a car driving in the oncoming lane. As a result of the collision, the singer suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple internal injuries, as well as fractures to his ribs, thigh, and jaw. Medical teams arriving at the scene transported him to the hospital in critical condition. During emergency surgery, doctors had to remove his spleen. At present, there is no direct threat to his life, but his condition remains very serious.
The driver who hit the victim fled the scene without offering assistance. However, thanks to eyewitnesses who remembered and provided the vehicle’s license plate number to the police, authorities were able to quickly locate and detain the perpetrator. The suspect turned out to be a 20-year-old man. Tests revealed his blood alcohol level was three times over the legal limit. During questioning, he admitted guilt and expressed remorse. According to media reports, he is willing to compensate for the damage caused. He is currently in custody awaiting trial. He may face charges under three articles, including drunk driving and failure to provide assistance.
The singer’s family expressed gratitude to everyone for their many words of support. His wife, pharmacist Pilar Aguiló, remains by his side in the hospital. It has also been reported that King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, who are currently on a private trip, are closely following their friend’s health condition. Jaume Anglada is known not only as a musician, but also as a close friend of the royal family.
