Lamborghini driven by Liverpool's Jota in fatal crash was probably speeding, police report finds

ZAMORA, SPAIN, JUL 08 – Spanish police say evidence points to Diogo Jota driving at possibly excessive speed when his Lamborghini suffered a tyre blowout, causing a fatal crash that killed him and his brother.

  • Diogo Jota, a 28-year-old Liverpool forward, died alongside his brother Andre Silva in a fatal car crash on July 3, 2025, in Zamora, Spain.
  • The crash occurred when Jota's Lamborghini Huracan suffered a suspected tyre blowout and veered off the A-52 motorway near Palacios de Sanabria while overtaking another vehicle.
  • Spanish police, analyzing wheel marks and evidence, conclude Jota was driving and possibly exceeded the speed limit significantly at the time of the accident.
  • Liverpool confirmed they will pay out Jota's remaining salary to his family, while teammates and officials expressed deep grief, with Virgil van Dijk calling the news 'absolutely devastating and in total disbelief.'
  • Jota's funeral took place on July 4 in Gondomar near Porto, attended by many teammates, and the club delayed preseason training reflecting the profound impact of the loss.
