'I was going to go 5 minutes earlier, but I went 50 years earlier.'

The warning of the deadly consequences of speeding has finally come true. It was revealed that the tragic cause of death of star player Diogo Jota of Liverpool in the English Premier League (EPL) was 'overspeed'. This is what the Spanish police said to investigate the accident.

Jota, a star player of Liverpool and a member of the Portuguese national team, was killed in a car overturn on the A-52 highway in the Palacios de Sanabria region of Spain on the 3rd. Andre Silva, his younger brother and also a soccer player, was in the vehicle with him. According to witnesses, the tire of the Lamborghini's luxury SUV Uracan, which the brothers were on, ruptured the vehicle and soon burst into flames.

Jota recently underwent pneumothorax surgery and tried to return to the UK by boat, not by plane, as recommended by his doctor. So I fell victim to a tragic accident while traveling to the Spanish port city of Santander by car with my brother.

However, the investigation revealed that the direct cause of the accident was speeding, which is shocking.




The Daily Star reported that `Spanish police have announced that all circumstances are revealed that Liverpool star Jota, who was killed in a car crash with his last brother, Andre Silva, was involved in an accident while driving a Lamborghini supercar himself.'

Spanish police said 'On-site investigations conducted to date show that the jota had been speeding far beyond the speed limit'Expert reports are still being prepared and will be finalized shortly' He added that `The traffic police of the Samora Police Force are analyzing vehicle wheel marks, suggesting that all circumstances may have significantly exceeded the allowable speed on the section of the highway.' The final report will soon be submitted to the Puebla de Sanabria court.

According to the results of the survey, the driver of the accident vehicle was Jota himself. The 180,000-pound Lamborghini Urakan, which Jota and his brother were on board, was `running very fast,' a Spanish road safety expert said.

Accident investigators said "All circumstances suggest that the tire burst during overtaking. The accident caused the vehicle to catch fire, killing two occupants."

Meanwhile, night-time road safety expert Javier López Delgado noted that 'multiple factors" including driving speed affected the accident, saying "If you were driving at 55 mph (about 88 kph), you might not have died. Looking at the skid marks, it seems clear that it was driving at a very high speed."

However, in addition to speeding, the condition of the road also appeared as a major cause of the accident.

Delgado, who is also president of Spain's Association of Road Safety Inspectors (ASEVI), believes that road surface conditions are the main cause of car deaths"You can clearly see that the condition of sleep was not good in many ways " he stressed.

On this road, a similar accident occurred eight days before Jota's death. A woman in her 60s was seriously injured and rescued by firefighters from the wreckage of her vehicle. Delgado referred to this, saying "It may be a coincidence, but I don't believe much in coincidence. If two vehicles were off the road at a similar point, it was something wrong with the road," he added.
