The car crash occurred less than two weeks after Jota married his lover Rute Cardoso in Porto. The couple had three children.

Spanish police claimed that English Premier League winner Diogo Jota was driving his Lamborghini when his car crashed.

According to Sky Sports, the police revealed that the Liverpool star was overspeeding on the A-52 motorway near Palacios de Sanabria.

The police emphasised that they had studied the marks left by one of the tyres and it indicated that Jota had crashed his vehicle accidentally to avoid a collision.

There are all indications that the report is ready and about to be finalised by the Spanish authorities. The police via BBC:

"All the evidence so far indicates that the driver of the crashed vehicle was Diogo Jota.

"The expert report is in the final stages, but as it is subject to judicial review, it will be submitted to the Puebla de Sanabria court."

"Among other things, the marks left by one of the vehicle's wheels are being examined.

"The expert report is being prepared and finalised."

Locals of Cernailla expressed their dissatisfaction over the current state of A52 motorway due to the death traps.

They labelled the motorway a goat track and lamented the deplorable state, per The Mirror.

Road users gave firsthand accounts of their current predicament, calling on the Spanish authorities to declare a state of emergency on the road following the death of Jota.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Spanish police are yet to publish an official report into the cause of the incident, but a road safety expert in Spain has postulated two reasons that made the accident fatal.

Mr Javier Lopez Delgado, president of the Spanish Association of Road Safety Auditors (ASEVI), admitted that there were faults on the highway, where the accident happened, but the brothers were moving too fast.

Delgado added that even if the tyre that blew out was not in the right condition and correct pressure, it would not have been the only factor responsible for the accident.
