Overview
- Spanish Civil Guard confirms Diogo Jota was likely behind the wheel when the Lamborghini veered off the A-52 near Zamora on July 3 and burst into flames, killing both him and brother André Silva
- Investigators are examining tyre tread patterns and vehicle speed recordings as part of an ongoing forensic analysis ahead of a full expert report for the Puebla de Sanabria court
- Early Civil Guard statements cited a possible excessive speed beyond the 120 km/h limit alongside a suspected tyre blowout as contributing factors in the crash
- Truck driver Jose Azevedo, who filmed the burning car, has publicly disputed the speed findings and insisted the Lamborghini passed his lorry “super calmly” shortly before the accident
- Liverpool FC will honour Jota and Silva with a rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a wreath ceremony and a minute’s silence before Sunday’s preseason friendly against Preston North End
