The vehicle the brothers were traveling in was completely burned, with their bodies found inside after a collision on the A-52 highway, at kilometer 65.3, in the municipality of Cernadilla, according to local government official Ángel Blanco.

Initial reports from the Guardia Civil indicate that the Lamborghini carrying Jota and his brother suffered a tire blowout while overtaking another car. The sudden loss of control caused the vehicle to crash and immediately burst into flames.

Their bodies were taken to the Forensic Institute of Zamora, where autopsies will be performed. According to news agency EFE, forensic teams are conducting DNA tests to confirm the identities, given the condition of the remains after the fire.

Diogo Jota was just 28 years old and had built a stellar career at clubs like Wolverhampton, Porto, Atlético Madrid, and most recently Liverpool, where he became a fan favorite. His sudden passing has left a deep impact not only on his teams but on the entire football world.
