Yeah. Such a weird story. He was one of those people who puts their head down and goes to work, giving cheer and a smile to everyone he knew.

Still, talk about a bizarre way to go. Instead of flying back to Liverpool training, lung surgery grounded him to driving and taking a ferry back So he drives his Lambo Huracán with his brother at midnight on A-52... presumably doing 200km/h or more, though without real evidence.

I don't know that freeway myself, but I've been told that people in Spain used to be able to drive that stretch safely at 200km/h. But not anymore. Then a tire blowout from a pothole while passing another vehicle and an explosive fireball? That's messed up.

Whether or not the guy may have been taking some driving risk with his brother at that hour, after his marriage and the season he had, it shouldn't have ended like that.

It’s definitely a tragic and shocking story, but I don’t find it bizarre. Statistically speaking, Driving is by far the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis

I agree. But Jota doesn't come off as a showboat or the cocky daredevil type by any stretch of the imagination. He could have lived a secret life, but we would have known by now ... even if he owned a Huracán.

And it's one thing to say car accidents are more likely than to actually die in a fiery crash like that. Though Antonio Reyes died under similar circumstances six years ago.
