Police, traffic officers, firefighters, and medical personnel were dispatched to the scene. The two were identified only through the car's license plate. The autopsy was performed at the Institute of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Zamora, where the victims' family arrived.

The Lamborghini reportedly blew a tire while accelerating past another vehicle, went off the road, and caught fire. Both occupants, Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, were killed.

The remaining scene after the bodies and the car wreckage were removed. According to the Spanish news agency EFE, eight days earlier, another accident occurred at this location, seriously injuring a 60-year-old woman who was trapped and only survived thanks to the timely arrival of firefighters.

After police examined the scene, the bodies of the Jota brothers and what remained of the car were towed away for investigation.

When the accident occurred, several people contacted Castilla y Leon Emergency Services 112 to report a car fire at kilometer 65 on the A-52.

Some parts believed to be from the crashed vehicle. The car could accelerate to 97 km/h in 2.5 seconds and had a top speed of 325 km/h.

Jota died while on summer break. He was scheduled to return to Liverpool mid-month to prepare for the 2024-2025 season.

Liverpool FC, where Jota played from 2020 until his death, flew its flags at half-mast.

Fans laid flowers outside Liverpool's Anfield stadium and Wolves' Molineux stadium, another English club where Jota played. Many fans suggested that Liverpool retire his number 20 jersey.

Fans of other teams, including Man Utd, also offered condolences to Jota's family and Liverpool.

What remained at the scene in the early evening of 3/7. Jota died after winning the Premier League with Liverpool in May, the Nations League with the Portugal national team on 8/6, and marrying on 22/6.

Jota's younger brother, Andre Silva, was also a professional player for the second-division team Penafiel, Portugal.

The accident occurred on the A-52 highway, Zamora, Spain, around 0:30 a.m. on 3/7. A truck driver who happened to be passing by when the accident occurred filmed the car fire.
