Spanish Police have released preliminary reports concerning the untimely death of late Liverpool player, Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva.
Naija News reports that Diogo Jota, 28, and his brother, 26, lost their lives in a car crash while travelling to a jetty to board a ferry heading to the United Kingdom. The accident happened at 12.30am local time on Thursday, July 3, on the A-52 motorway in the municipality of Cernadilla, Zamora.
“A vehicle left the road and everything indicates a tyre burst while overtaking”, a Spanish police statement released after the accident reads.
“As a result of the accident, the car caught fire and both people were killed.”
Naija News gathered that the late Liverpool star decided to travel back to the UK by boat because his doctors reportedly advised him against travelling by air due to a lung surgery he had.
Earlier today, July 8, about two days after the burial of the two siblings, the Civil Guard in Zamora released an official statement revealing that Diogo Jota was the driver of the crashed car.
The police also revealed that “the vehicle significantly exceeded the speed limit for the highway” at the time of the accident.
“The expert report is being prepared and finalised”, the police statement reads.
“Among other things, the marks left by one of the vehicle’s wheels are being examined.
“All the evidence so far indicates that the driver of the crashed vehicle was Diogo Jota.
“The expert report is not yet complete, but as it is subject to judicial review, it will be submitted to the Puebla de Sanabria court.”
