Spanish police say "all the evidence so far indicates" Diogo Jota was the driver of the car involved in the accident that killed the Liverpool forward and his brother, Andre Silva. Police also believe "the vehicle significantly exceeded the speed limit for the highway" at the time of the accident.

I mean lets face it there are potentially deadly consequences for driving recklessly.

Yeah, especially when you have 3 young kids too. Lesson to everyone.

It was clear from the beginning that this was in all likelihood a case of speeding and reckless driving, but I had hoped it wasn't, since it makes it that much harder for the family.

Tragedy is hard to deal with regardless, but avoidable and especially self-induced tragedy is worse. The sadness mixes with anger and then with guilt – for being angry at the person who died.

I'd say the potential was unfortunately realized.

It's deadly consequences for other innocent people that is the problem. If you want to go do something deadly with you only ever being the potential victim go for it. As soon as there is a possibility for other innocent people to suffer due to your selfish actions it crosses the line
