Overview

  • Spanish Guardia Civil confirmed Diogo Jota was at the wheel and exceeded the speed limit when the rented Lamborghini Huracán veered off the A-52 and breached a guardrail.
  • Investigators have moved beyond an initial tire blowout hypothesis after skid-mark analysis pointed to excessive velocity as the primary factor.
  • Accident researcher Kirstin Zeidler warns that low-profile sports cars can underride or penetrate guardrails at high speeds and shallow impact angles.
  • Forensic teams are collecting data on barrier performance, road conditions and vehicle dynamics to establish how multiple factors combined in the crash.
  • Authorities say the investigation remains open until full analysis of speed data, tire integrity, impact angle and barrier response is complete.
