According to a report by BBC Sport, the fatal crash occurred because Jota and his brother were driving at very high speed. The tragedy unfolded when they attempted a risky overtaking maneuver on the road.
During this maneuver, the car lost control — possibly due to the excessive speed combined with the difficulty of the overtaking. The vehicle then crashed violently, causing it to catch fire.
Sadly, the victims were trapped inside the car and were unable to escape the blaze. The fire consumed the entire vehicle, making it impossible for rescuers to retrieve the bodies immediately.
Authorities were only able to confirm the identities of the victims after checking the car’s license plate, since the fire damage was so severe.
This devastating accident has left the football community and fans heartbroken. More details will emerge as the investigation continues.
