Star footballer Diogo Jota of Liverpool and his brother Andre Silva lost their lives in a tragic accident in northern Spain. It was reported that the tragic event occurred due to a tire blowout of the Lamborghini vehicle they were driving. The details of the accident were met with great sadness both in the football world and in Jota's hometown of Portugal.
The incident took place in the town of Cernadilla in the Zamora region, on the A-52 highway. The accident occurred just 10 miles from the Portuguese border while Jota and his brother were heading towards England. Allegedly, the luxury sports car blew a tire while overtaking another vehicle, leading to a loss of control. The vehicle veered off the road, rolled over, and then caught fire. The flames also spread to the surrounding vegetation.
It was reported that the brothers were heading towards the port of Santander to return to Liverpool. Due to a recent lung surgery Jota had undergone, doctors had advised him not to fly. Therefore, it was stated that they decided to take the ferry to England and made the return journey by car.
Although emergency services quickly arrived at the scene, it was announced that both brothers had lost their lives. The accident occurred around 00:35 at night. It is currently unclear who was driving the vehicle.
28-year-old Diogo Jota had recently married his childhood sweetheart Rute Cardoso in Porto. The couple had three children. In his last Instagram post, Jota shared wedding photos with the words "The happiest day of my life."
The Portuguese Football Federation confirmed the deaths of Jota and his brother in the morning hours. Cristiano Ronaldo published a condolence message on social media: "You had just gotten married, everything was just beginning. We will all miss you very much."
Liverpool FC stated in a statement, "There are no words to describe this loss. Diogo was a very special part of our club, our fans, and the football family." The accident left a deep sorrow in the sports world.
