Overview

• Investigators say the rented Lamborghini exceeded the 120 km/h limit before veering off Spain’s A-52 near Zamora on July 3.
• Officials now consider excessive speed rather than a tyre blowout to be the principal factor in the deaths of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva.
• Forensic tests have confirmed Jota was at the wheel and authorities are awaiting further analysis in the ongoing inquiry.
• The A-52 stretch where the crash occurred has recorded 17 fatalities since 2024 against a backdrop of worn pavement and inadequate upkeep.
• Liverpool FC will honor the final two years of Jota’s contract by paying roughly £14 million to his family.
