Liverpool player Diogo Jota. 28 and his brother Andre Filipe, 26 were travelling in North Spain when their car suddenly went off road, catching fire that killed both the footballers. Both the players had a fatal accident on Thursday morning where their Lamborghini crashed off road, confirmed by the Spanish Civil Guard.
