“WE DEEPLY REGRET” – Lamborghini Owner Apologizes to Diogo Jota’s Family and Reveals Shocking Truth Behind the Tragic Accident – A Truly Frightening Story
On July 3rd, the football world was caught by surprise and plunged into grief when the news broke that Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother André had tragically lost their lives in a catastrophic car accident in Spain. The two were traveling in a Lamborghini Huracán, a luxury vehicle that has previously been subject to several recalls due to safety issues.
The accident triggered a wave of mourning across the sports world, and Lamborghini, the manufacturer of the vehicle involved, expressed its deepest condolences to the victims’ families.
In a statement to The Sun Sport, a spokesperson for the Italian brand said:
“We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident in Spain involving a Lamborghini, which took the lives of Diogo and André Jota. At this very difficult time, we send our sincerest condolences to their families. Lamborghini is awaiting more information about the circumstances of the accident and will handle the matter with the utmost respect.”
The vehicle involved was a Lamborghini Huracán, a supercar model produced between 2014 and 2024. In recent years, some versions of the Huracán Coupé and Spyder (specifically from 2021 and 2023) were recalled due to door seatbelt defects that could prevent proper opening in emergency situations — a serious risk that led the company to call owners in for free inspections and repairs at authorized dealerships.
Additionally, units produced between 2021 and early 2022 were also recalled due to issues with the seatbelt alarm and indicator, which sometimes failed to activate correctly under certain conditions, violating basic automotive safety standards.
The sudden death of Diogo Jota represents a devastating loss not only for his family but also for football fans around the world. His promising career was brutally cut short, leaving behind countless memories and contributions to global football.
Both fans and teammates will forever remember his skill, dedication, and contagious joy on the field.
While the circumstances of the accident are still under investigation by Spanish authorities, the football community remains united in mourning, paying tribute to a player who left us far too soon.
Jota’s legacy, both on and off the pitch, will continue to inspire future generations of footballers and lovers of the beautiful game.
The fatal accident involved a Lamborghini Huracán valued at around 4 million Brazilian reais (R$), approximately 600 thousand euros (€).
