Jota and his younger brother Andre, 28, were travelling by car in the province of Zamora in north-western Spain shortly after midnight on Thursday when the vehicle came off the motorway, killing them both.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Guardia Civil told the BBC: "The information we have so far is that the car, which was a Lamborghini, was in a road traffic accident and left the road due to a tyre blowout while overtaking. It was in the early hours, 00:30 BST, in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora.
 The car caught on fire and the two occupants were killed."
