Overview

  • The Spanish Civil Guard’s preliminary statements attribute driving to Jota and point to a tyre blowout and possible excessive speed as causes of the A-52 crash.
  • José Azevedo and José Alex Duarte, both truck drivers, filmed the burning Lamborghini and insist it passed them calmly at moderate speed.
  • Forensic experts are analysing tyre tread marks and investigating road surface defects on the Zamora motorway where the collision occurred.
  • Authorities will soon deliver the full expert report to the Puebla de Sanabria court, though it is unclear whether its findings will be publicly released.
  • Liverpool FC has resumed pre-season training after granting the squad additional time to grieve and plans further tributes to Jota and his brother.
