Early Investigation Claims 'Excessive Speed' Major Factor in Liverpool's Star Fatal Car Crash
On Monday, Spanish media reports cited the earliest investigations into the horrific car accident that claimed the life of Portuguese star Diogo Jota, Liverpool striker, and his younger brother André Silva last week.
The investigations revealed that 'excessive speed' was a major factor in the crash, according to Spanish police.
Authorities clarified that the final report is still under review, as tire marks are being analyzed to determine the circumstances precisely. However, current indicators strongly suggest a 'significant breach of the speed limit.'
The investigation believes that Jota was the one driving the car at the time of the crash. The Portuguese player and his brother died on a highway in the town of Cernadilla, Zamora province, near the Spanish-Portuguese border, after their Lamborghini Huracán veered off the road and caught fire, according to statements by the Spanish Civil Guard.
Portuguese media reported that the car was rented and that Jota had planned to travel to Liverpool by ferry from the northern Spanish city of Santander, as he had recently undergone lung surgery and was prohibited from flying.
The brothers' funeral was held on Saturday in their hometown of Gondomar, a suburb of Porto, where Diogo Jota began his football career at Gondomar Sport Club.
Jota joined Liverpool in 2020 from Wolverhampton in a €49 million deal and played a key role in the club's achievements, including winning the Premier League title. Internationally, he earned 48 caps with the Portuguese national team and scored 14 goals, most recently contributing to their UEFA Nations League victory on June 8, defeating Spain 5–3 on penalties—repeating Portugal's 2019 triumph.
