Court says no criminal liability over Diogo Jota and his brother's deaths

A COURT has ruled there is no criminal liability relating to the deaths of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and brother Andre Silva following a car crash in July last year.

- 

Jota and his brother were killed in the early hours of July 3, with the 28-year-old Liverpool player driving the pair to England.The Lamborghini Huracan carrying Jota and his brother veered off the road, bursting into flames. Following lung surgery, Jota had been cautioned against flying and was instead driving to Santander. The pair had intended to reach England on a ferry via Benavente. They were eventually set to dock in Portsmouth, but never arrived.

A police investigation concluded a tyre blowout occurred while Jota attempted to overtake another vehicle on the A-52, around 70 miles west of Valladolid. This then led to the car coming off the road at around 12.40am and becoming engulfed in flames.
