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

Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were likely speeding when the rear tire of their car blew out, causing the crash that killed them both, according to a preliminary report from Spain's Civil Guard on Tuesday.

Investigators say a tire imprint analysis suggests Jota, confirmed to be driving, was traveling well above the speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour, while overtaking on a highway near Zamora, Spain, just before midnight on July 3.

Evidence indicates that the overspeeding caused the Lamborghini in which they were traveling to veer off the road and crash.

The results of the on-site investigation will be sent to the local court before being made public.
