The Spanish police have disclosed that overspeeding played a significant role in the fatal car crash involving the late Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre.
It was noted that after thorough scrutiny of the vehicle’s wheels, it came to light that the vehicle exceeded its speed limit, which led to the crash.
In a statement released on July 8, 2025, the police revealed that Jota was the one who was driving the vehicle when the incident occurred.
“Everything also points to the vehicle significantly exceeding the speed limit for the highway. All the evidence so far indicates that the driver of the crashed vehicle was Diogo Jota,” a portion of the statement issued by the Zamora Civil Guard read.
The Spanish police indicated that investigations are ongoing, and this is the preliminary information given to the public, which they promised to release the final report when it’s concluded.
“The report is being prepared and finalised. Among other things, the marks left by one of the vehicle’s wheels are being examined.
“The expert report is not finalised yet, as it is subject to judicial review; it will be submitted to the Puebla de Sanabria Court,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Diogo Jota and his brother have been laid to rest as the football world mourns his loss.
