Overview

  • Guardia Civil peritos have identified early indicators of excessive speed and a rear-tire failure in the A-52 crash that killed Diogo Jota and his brother, with the full report still pending submission to the court.
  • Portuguese trucker José Azevedo has publicly disputed the investigators’ speed analysis, saying the Lamborghini was driven calmly and blaming poor road conditions.
  • A head-on collision on the A-384 near Arcos de la Frontera on July 8 resulted in three fatalities and one injury, attributed to driver confusion at a junction and now under standard traffic-offense review.
  • Dense fog in Buenos Aires’s AMBA region on July 9–10 led to a fatal motorcycle accident and dozens of injuries in multiple collisions as authorities examine visibility and signage issues.
  • A series of high-fatality incidents on Spain’s secondary highways this summer has renewed scrutiny of driver behavior, vehicle maintenance and road design beyond officially designated danger zones.
