Tragic Crash Claims Lives of Portuguese Footballer and Brother: Investigation Reveals Possible Speeding

Spanish police are investigating the fatal crash involving Liverpool's Diogo Jota, suggesting speeding may have been a factor.


Authorities confirm evidence supports that Jota was driving his Lamborghini when it crashed early last Thursday, killing him and his brother André. The Lamborghini reportedly suffered a tyre blowout while overtaking on a Spanish motorway, igniting a fire that destroyed the vehicle. Evidence suggests that the car was likely exceeding the speed limit at the time of the crash.

The tragedy struck shortly after Jota's wedding, with the brothers en route to Santander for Jota's pre-season training. Friends and family have come together to honor the memory of the two brothers, whose funeral took place in their hometown near Porto. Tyre marks found on the road indicate a speed-related incident, though local police have dismissed claims of the road being an accident-prone area. The investigation continues as authorities work on a detailed report regarding the crash.
