A shocking new video has surfaced online showing the final moments of Diogo Jota’s life—and the terrifying aftermath of the crash that killed him and his younger brother.
The clip, filmed by a passing truck driver, shows Jota’s Lamborghini completely engulfed in flames, pulled over on the side of a highway in Zamora, Spain. There are no sirens, no emergency lights—just smoke and fire. It appears to have been recorded moments after the collision, before police or paramedics had arrived.
According to preliminary reports from Spanish authorities, the 28-year-old Liverpool striker was driving with his brother André, 25, when the car veered off the road and exploded into flames. Officials believe the cause may have been a tire blowout while overtaking another vehicle.

Images from the scene are devastating. Shared widely on social media, they show what’s left of the luxury vehicle—a charred, melted frame, completely incinerated. Skid marks on the pavement suggest a hard brake, fueling speculation that speed may have played a role, though investigators have yet to confirm that.
This is how Diogo Jota’s car was found in the early hours in Spain—a crash that ultimately cost the Portuguese star and his brother their lives.
