Friday, July 4, 2025 - This is the heartbreaking scene following the fatal crash in northern Spain that claimed the life of Liverpool star Diogo Jota after his Lamborghini veered off the road.

The Portuguese striker d!ed in the early hours of Thursday morning while he was travelling in the supercar near Zamora with his fellow footballer brother Andre, 26, who was also k!lled in the crash.

The Lamborghini's tyre is believed to have blown out while overtaking on the A-52 by the town of Cernadilla, near Zamora in northwestern Spain, close to the border with Portugal, Mail Online reports.

According to the report, the supercar came off the road, rolled, and then burst into flames just after 12.30am on Thursday. The emergency services were called but the brothers could not be saved.

Shocking footage shows the charred remains of the supercar on the side of the main road, with emergency crews seen investigating nearby. 

Jota had just married Rute Cardoso, the mother of his three children, and described himself as the luckiest man in the world to be her husband in his final Instagram post on Wednesday afternoon.

The couple married on June 22 in Porto, the footballer's home city. Rute shared more wedding day pictures in a social media post yesterday and said: 'My dream come true.' Jota replied in the comments: 'I'm the lucky one.'

Emergency services in the Castilla and Leon region confirmed the crash and two fatalities at around 12.35am on Thursday morning. Diogo and Andre's de@ths were confirmed by the Portuguese Football Federation and Liverpool.

'The 1-1-2 Castilla y León operations room received several calls reporting a vehicle accident at Km. 65 of the A-52, in the municipality of Cernadilla, Zamora. A car was reported to have been involved in an accident and the vehicle was on fire,' a statement read.
