England police have just announced the devastating cause behind the fatal car accident that claimed the lives of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his beloved brother early this morning

The fatal accident occurred around 12:30 AM local time on July 3, 2025, along the A-52 motorway near Palacios de Sanabria, resulting in the deaths of Diogo, aged 28, and André, aged 26, after their Lamborghini left the roadway and caught fire.

According to Spanish Civil Guard (Guardia Civil) accounts cited by *The Guardian*, *Daily Mail*, and *BBC Sport*, the crash was caused by a tire blowout during an overtaking maneuver, which led the vehicle to overturn and ignite, with the flames spreading to surrounding vegetation.

There are no official statements from sources such as *Marca*, *Sky News*, or *Reuters* indicating any role played by police in England or any determination of the cause.

The confirmation of details came from the Spanish Civil Guard, a Spanish authority rather than a British one, with a spokesperson telling ESPN, “The driver lost control of the car after a tire blew out.”

Additionally, a representative from the Spanish government informed the PA news agency that the incident is under investigation as “a possible speeding incident,” though this has yet to be verified pending forensic analysis.

Given that the crash happened in Spain, the lack of England police involvement is consistent, and any assertions to the contrary appear to be false, likely driven by misunderstandings circulating on social media platforms like X, where unsupported claims have surfaced.

Jota, who wed Rute Cardoso on June 22, 2025, is survived by his three children. His record of 65 goals in 182 games for Liverpool, playing a pivotal part in their 2024/25 Premier League championship, along with 49 appearances for Portugal, has solidified his legacy.

André, who played as a midfielder for Penafiel, was also honored broadly, receiving tributes from Cristiano Ronaldo, Jürgen Klopp, and Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro. Liverpool released a statement expressing heartbreak and asking for the family’s privacy, as supporters gathered at Anfield to leave floral tributes.

UEFA has scheduled a minute of silence at Portugal’s Women’s Euro 2025 fixture against Spain. The football community continues to grieve, with no credible reports supporting the involvement of England pol

ice in the incident.
