    Awful news, his brother was in the car too and passed away. He was only married 10 days ago, 3 young kids too.

    Local paper in Spain is reporting that the car was going down an A road, went off road and crashed. Car caught fire in the crash.

    Life is very fragile sometimes.

    We envy footballers with their big houses,fast cars and millions in the bank but they are human just like us.

    Just terrible. my thoughts go out to the whole family. Especially the boys parent, losing one child is pain beyond belief but both their sons. I can only imagine the grief.

    Further to that, according to reports - they were overtaking another vehicle in their Lambo and the tyre blew out. Lost control, went off road and like you say, crash and caught fire.

    The thing that always gets me with tragic deaths of young people are photos of the kids.

    The wedding photo with his 3 young children is absolutely heartbreaking. Their Dad is gone.

    Yes I saw that picture, just a week or 2 ago. You would think 2 of the kids are possibly too young to understand the true impact but the older boy will be absolutely devastated.

    Awful news. How unlucky the tyre blew out as he was overtaking a car.

    Feel for his family. RIP.

    I think they are over speculating tbh, without any investigation . Now they are saying no other vehicle involved and the skid marks are from the “ inside “ lane as best as can be seen in the pics and my experience of LHD . Some big speed involved as it seems there are crash barriers which have landed on the far side of the opposite dual carriageway .

    You hit the nail on the head as have others , it’s those that are left behind , new wife, young family and the brothers parents it’s tragic


    A mighty shock to be perfectly honest .

    Rest in Peace .

    I would hate to learn that it was speeding that ultimately caused this tragic accident. Looking at some of the images online there appears to be a long distance between the car leaving the road and the area where impact with the trees happened.

    Honestly my heart sinks when I see stuff like this. Not just with well known people but in general.

    You are right , it’s a tragic . We very nearly lost our son the same way , that knock on the door by the police was the worst thing imaginable. He was a very lucky lucky boy . I can’t imagine what it’s like for a fatal loss , my heart bleeds for those in that poor family.
