Liverpool’s Diogo Jota, His Brother Killed In An Accident In Spain
Liverpool star Diogo Jota has died in a car accident, according to Spanish daily Marca.
The Portuguese international got involved in an accident in Zamora province. He was 28.
He was travelling with his brother Andre Silva, a 26-year-old Penafiel player who was also slain, when the automobile veered off the road and caught fire.
A post on X from the Zamora Provincial Council said: “Two young people have died in an accident on the A-52 (Palacios de Sanabria).”
Jota joined the Reds from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2020 and went on to make 182 appearances, winning two Premier League titles along the way.
