According to Marca, Diogo Jota, a 28-year-old Portuguese Liverpool footballer, died early this morning in a traffic accident in the province of Zamora.

The accident occurred at kilometer 65 of the A-52, near the municipality of Palacios de Sanabria.

The Liverpool player died when the vehicle he was traveling in with his brother André, a 26-year-old professional footballer, went off the road, causing a fire.

According to witnesses who called 112, the car was engulfed in flames, which also spread to nearby vegetation.

The cause of the accident that killed Diogo Jota and his brother was a blown tire on their Lamborghini.

According to BBC Sport, Jota and his brother were driving at very high speed. During an overtaking maneuver, one of the tires burst, causing the Lamborghini to veer off the road, flip over, and catch fire.

The victims were unable to escape the vehicle, and the car burned completely. Their identities were confirmed only through the car’s license plate.
