The tragedy happened around 8.30am today on a road running along the Mediterranean between Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa in the north east of the island.
The accident happened near to the spot where British tourist Patricia Crosby, 67, was run over and killed in May hours after jetting to the island for a holiday with her husband.
