Spanish police believe that Diogo Jota was behind the wheel when the vehicle that he was traveling in last Thursday blew a tyre, ultimately killing the Liverpool forward and his younger brother.

Jota and Andre Silva tragically died in a car crash in Spain as the pair made their way back to Liverpool by road ahead of the start of pre-season training; Jota had opted against flying on medical advice after undergoing lung surgery earlier in the summer.

A statement by the Civil Guard said: “The expert report is still being worked on and finalised.



Among other things traffic police from the Zamora branch of the Civil Guard are studying the tread marked by one of the wheels of the vehicle.

Everything is also pointing to a possible high excess of speed over the permitted speed on that stretch of the motorway.

“All the tests carried out for the moment point to the driver of the crash vehicle being Diogo Jota.

The expert police report when it is finalised will be handed over to a court in Puebla de Sanabria.”
