The death of a famous footballer in a road crash was greeted with disbelief – yet road deaths are heartbreakingly common.
Early this month, the football world was left shocked and devastated by the tragic death of Diogo Jota, who died with his brother, André Silva, 25, when their car crashed and caught fire in Spain.
At 28, Jota was at the peak of his career. He had celebrated so much in recent weeks, including winning the English Premier League with Liverpool and the Nations League with Portugal, as well as marrying his childhood sweetheart and long-term partner 11 days earlier.
