The Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who recently died in a car accident, was forced to take the wheel of a car because doctors advised him to refrain from air travel, reports the BBC.
Diogo JotaAccording to the BBC, Jota was on his way from his hometown of Porto, where a few weeks ago he had his wedding, to Santander, from where he was to take a ferry to southern England and start pre-season training with Liverpool on Monday.
It turns out that shortly before the trip, Jota underwent a small operation, and doctors did not recommend flying. So the 28-year-old Portuguese took the wheel of a sports car. The source adds that he also traveled by land and sea to his wedding in Porto on June 22.
It became known the day before that Jota crashed in Spain along with his brother Andre. A tire exploded on the green Lamborghini with Diogo at the wheel while overtaking another vehicle. The vehicle went off the road and caught fire.
