Liverpool star Diogo Jota died with his younger brother Andre when their Lamborghini crashed as they drove through northern Spain to catch an overnight ferry to the UK, it emerged today.
The tyre of the supercar, reportedly a £150,000 Urus SUV, is said to have blown out while overtaking on the A-52 at Cernadilla near Zamora - just ten miles over the border from Portugal.
The siblings were headed to Santander to catch a ferry to Britain after Diogo was advised not to fly following lung surgery, it was reported in his home country today.
