Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota and brother killed in car crash in Spain, police say
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/news/content/ar-AA1HT7qH?Diogo Jota, the celebrated Portuguese soccer star who recently won the English Premier League with Liverpool Football Club, has been killed in a car crash, authorities said Thursday.
The Guardia Civil confirmed in a statement that the 28-year-old star and his brother, André Silva, also a professional soccer player, died after a car crash in the Zamora region at 12:30 a.m.
"In the absence of a conclusion of the experts evidence, everything points that a car left the road, due to a tire blowout while overtaking," the police said. The car set on fire and both vehicle occupants were killed by the accident, the statement added.
According to Jota's social media accounts, he got married to his long-term girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, just 10 days ago. The couple had three children together.
