Portuguese footballer Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain, suspected to be caused by a tyre blowout while overtaking on the A52 motorway. Evidence suggests Jota was speeding at the time of the accident. Police investigations reveal tyre marks were visible indicating the vehicle's path before the crash. A report is being prepared for court regarding the incident. Jota had recently married Rute Cardoso and had three children. Their funeral was held in their hometown of Gondomar, Portugal, shortly after the tragedy.
The 28-year-old Liverpool player was killed with his brother Andre Silva, 25, when their Lamborghini car had a suspected tyre blowout in northwestern Zamora province.
Spain's Guardia Civil police force said at the time the car had apparently been overtaking on the A52 motorway near Palacios de Sanabria when it left the road and burst into flames.
Police said they had studied the marks left by one of the Lamborghini's tyres and that "all the tests carried out so far indicate that the driver of the crashed vehicle was Diogo Jota".
The accident happened 11 days after Jota had married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso in Portugal, and the couple had three children.
