Spanish authorities release initial findings into car crash that killed Diogo Jota
Spanish authorities have released their initial findings into the car crash that killed Liverpool striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Jota, 28, and Silva, 25, were driving on the remote A-52 dual-carriageway near the north-west city of Zamora, close to the Portuguese border, when their Lamborghini came off the road and burst into flames. Advertisement The Athletic reported on Friday that investigators were working on a theory that the car had suffered a puncture to one of its rear tyres while overtaking a truck, causing it to veer off the road and into the central reservation. On Tuesday, Spain's Guardia Civil — one of the country's two national police forces — issued an update on the progress of its investigation Its statement, issued through the Zamora branch of the Guardia Civil and its traffic division, read: 'The expert report is being carried out and finished, where among other things, the tread marks left by one of the wheels of the vehicle are being studied. 'Everything also points to a possible high excess of speed over the permitted speed of the road. All the tests carried out for the moment point to the fact that the driver of the crashed vehicle was Diogo Jota.' The statement added that the report, once finalised, would be handed to the court in Puebla de Sanabria, a town near where the accident took place. Earlier on Tuesday, Liverpool's players began returning to the club's training base in Kirkby for the first time since the end of last season. Many had attended the funeral of Jota and Silva three days previously. Flowers in memory of Jota had been laid outside the gates of the training ground, while banners were also hung on the wall outside. Liverpool are due to play Preston North End in their first pre-season friendly on Sunday at Deepdale but it is unclear whether the game will go ahead. Speaking last week, Mohamed Salah said the thought of returning to the training ground without Jota would 'frighten' him. He said: 'Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break. Team-mates come and go but not like this. 'It's going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won't be there when we go back.' (Photo of tributes to Jota laid outside Liverpool's Anfield Stadium:)
