BREAKING: Spanish Police Identify Driver Behind £185K Lamborghini Crash That K*lled Diogo Jota and Brother — The Truth Stuns Everyone
In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the world of football and beyond, Spanish authorities have officially confirmed the identity of the driver behind the tragic Lamborghini crash that claimed the lives of Portuguese star Diogo Jota and his brother Andre — and the revelation has left both fans and investigators utterly astounded.
After weeks of painstaking analysis, the Civil Guard’s Traffic Investigation Unit in Zamora released their final report this morning. The £185,000 Lamborghini Huracán Spyder, which crashed off the N-525 highway and erupted into flames, was found to have been driven by none other than Andre Jota, Diogo’s older brother — not Diogo himself, as widely speculated from the outset.
“This conclusion is based on seat positioning metrics, pedal indentation analysis, and DNA traces recovered from the driver-side airbag,” lead investigator Inspector Luis Navarro told reporters during a press briefing. “All forensic indicators point unmistakably to Andre Jota being at the wheel at the time of the accident.”
The truth has stunned many who had assumed Diogo, the world-famous striker known for his love of supercars and luxury vehicles, was driving. Social media had been flooded with comments blaming reckless celebrity habits, with many wrongly concluding that Diogo’s passion for high-speed sports cars led directly to the tragedy.
Now, that narrative has been upended entirely — and replaced with heartbreaking new questions.
According to the report, the Lamborghini was traveling at approximately 145 km/h (90 mph) in a 120 km/h zone, attempting to overtake a slower-moving lorry. As it approached a gentle curve, evidence shows the car struck loose gravel, causing the vehicle to fishtail. Within moments, it smashed through a guardrail and flipped down a small embankment before bursting into flames.
Inspector Navarro stressed that while speed played a factor, the critical element was the sudden loss of traction on the shoulder, likely from road debris. “There is no indication of alcohol or drug use by Andre Jota,” he confirmed, after toxicology results returned clean.
The new findings have thrown the grieving family into fresh waves of anguish. Insiders close to the Jota household say Diogo’s parents, already devastated by the loss of both sons in a single, horrifying instant, are now struggling with the knowledge that it was Andre behind the wheel.
“It is a terrible weight for them to bear,” said a family friend. “But above all, their grief remains — two vibrant young lives lost together.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool FC, where Diogo had become a fan favorite, issued a brief statement acknowledging the final report and offering renewed condolences. “We continue to stand with the Jota family during this profoundly difficult time,” the club said.
Fans around the world, too, have responded with compassion, flooding social media with messages like “Blame solves nothing. They’re brothers forever.” The hashtags #AlwaysJota and #TwoHeartsOneTragedy began trending across multiple platforms within hours.
As investigators close the official file, one painful truth remains above all else: a family has been shattered, the football world has lost a bright star, and the heartbreaking final moments on that Spanish highway will echo forever in the hearts of those left behind.
