Diogo Jota shocking news

Terrible news, 28, just married and a great life to look forward to. Sad

Really shocking. Had everything. So sad.

Dreadful.  His brother too.  Leaves a wife and three kids.

Shocking news.

Sadly to some people a flash car is a toy.

I've used that road a few times. Iirc like a lot of Spanish E roads it's a duel carriageway with a crash barrier that is not always next to the road.  They have quite wide drainage paths between the carriageways. Get in one of those at speed and you are in trouble.

As you say Jerry, thankfully no other party was killed or injured.

literally a wheel left intact , Crazy must have been going some speed  ,Tragic waste of Life  families destroyed for What

RIP. Terrible news. Shades of JA Reyes about it.

Over 1,600 people die in road accidents every year in the UK.

That's equivalent to nearly an Airbus A320 crashing each and every month

Just watched on yt-car destiny
Jota driving a lhd Tesla x

Car may have been a new car

I’m surprised the figure - which of course is far too high - is as low as that.

Shocked to hear this. RIP.

Awful news for the family of the two brothers.

What a shocking tragic waste!...

RIP.

shocking; idyllic lives destroyed in a moment

In the 1920s it was 4,000+ per year died on British roads. Peaked at 7,000+ every year in the late 1960s.

My cousin lost a brother and a son to road accidents

Car safety has improved a lot with airbags and seatbelts but people still make poor drivers

very sad, feel for the kids, wife and other family. Lamborghinis are horrible cars to drive. I drove one once and did not enjoy the experience. Was glad to get out of the thing, tbh. Mind you I'm not a young man.

BBC Sport has been told that Jota had undergone minor surgery so doctors had advised against flying.

As result, he was planning to return to Liverpool for pre-season training, due to begin on Monday, by ferry.

This is understood to involve him travelling by car from Porto to get a ferry from Santander in northern Spain.

Zamora, close to the Portuguese border, is around 190 miles from Porto, and a similar distance from the port.

It is understood Jota had completed the journey in reverse to get to Porto for his wedding.

‘In reverse’? fcuk me no wonder he crashed.

What a stupid , insensitive post

You seem to know a lot about the crash or are you just a stupid guesser? What speed was he going, the police statements don't seem to indicate any wrongdoing but I'm sure you guessers know best.

TBF guessing is what most betfair punters do.

But in this case we should all await for what the Spanish authorities say.

He was driving a HIRE car
Still dont know which type of Lambo was involved

I know a lot about the crash

Witnesses and forensic reports describe:

Complete vehicle destruction

Ruptured fuel lines or tank ignition

Instant fireball, suggesting severe kinetic impact energy

Such destruction implies a crash speed of at least 140 km/h (87 mph), and more likely 160–200 km/h (100–125 mph), depending on the angle and object struck (barrier, embankment, tree).
Completely destroyed the Armco barrier

Spanish police indicating car travelling
at excessive speed over the limit

The A-53 is  120 km/h (approximately 74.6 mph)

Sorry, A-52
