Spanish police release new statement shedding more light on Diogo Jota car cra
Spanish police have provided an update on the investigation surrounding the death of former Liverpool star Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, indicating who they believe to be the driver of the car in the accident that cost them their lives. The pair sadly passed away in the early hours of July 3 after the Lamborghini they were travelling in crashed and burst into flames, with the initial assumption that a tyre burst while attempting to overtake another vehicle.
Jota was believed to be heading to Santander in order to catch a ferry to return to Merseyside, having been advised not to fly following minor lung surgery. The brothers were laid to rest in Portugal last weekend, and now further information has been released about the events leading up to their deaths.

Loved ones helped the investigation by identifying belongings
In a statement released by the Civil Guard in Zamora on Tuesday, as per Sky Sports and the Mirror, it was confirmed that Jota is believed to have been the driver of Lamborghini at the time of the crash that took his and Silva’s life. Furthermore, authorities also believe evidence points towards the vehicle “significantly exceeding the speed limit for the highway.”
“The expert report is being prepared and finalised. Among other things, the marks left by one of the vehicle’s wheels are being examined. Everything is also pointing to a possible high excess of speed over the permitted speed on that stretch of the motorway.
“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.”
Another report from Spanish outlet El Mundo indicates that the relatives of the siblings played an important role in identifying who may have been behind the wheel at the time of the accident, by recognising belongings recovered from the crash.
The case’s conclusion has yet to be revealed, with the inquiry still in progress and no indication if any findings will be released publicly at this time.
