Tragic accident.

[ozleeds]

Yeah shocking. How on earth does a car like that blow a tyre and catch fire?

[Billyni]

Sad news indeed.

[norfolk white]

Tragedy is the only word I can think of

[WTF11]

And married just two weeks ago, AND his brother died alongside him, unbelievable, so very sad.

[Orgoner]

Very sad news. RIP the Jota brothers and condolences to their friends, fans and family.

[Pacaman]

So sad. How the family recovers from that is beyond my comprehension.

[Sniffer999]

Shocking.
RIP

Must have been going some to flip it and wreck it like he did. Who was driving him or the brother ?

Whoever, and that was my thought straight away, as to how fast they were going. Anyway, if they were going fast, that's one lesson they weren't learn from sadly.

A source close to the sub-delegate of the Spanish government revealed the crash is being investigated as "a possible speeding incident"

Yeah, mate, I knew that from the start. As soon as I saw a blown tyre and a Lambo. Yesterday, here 3 people lost their lives in one accident as a kangaroo jumped in front of a car, which braked, and 2 other cars behind hit the car. So many things can go wrong on the roads, so why do people speed? I would never know.

Stupid and idiotic indeed. Feel sorry for the kids and wife.

[spaldy]

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers for the wife and kids. Tough to lose your dad at any age much less that young.

At the risk of poking the bear.... Speed is usually blamed for many accidents but simplifying the issue to a simpleton talking point. Drinking also gets blamed a lot as well. Here in the states we have so many moronic and dangerous drivers that cause accidents that have little to do with speed or impairment. Any clown can get a drivers license and many have no clue on even the most basic vehicle operation or road etiquette/courtesy. We also have millions and millions that don't have drivers licenses and when they get stopped they are let go because they are here illegally and not subject to US laws in many areas ("sanctuary cities).

We have legions of A-holes that hang out in the left lane (passing lane here), on cell phones, speeding up and slowing down, no turn signals (not sure if BMW's have those), no concept of merging, turn left in front of traffic, speeding through school zones and construction zones. We've dumbed down the expectations to the point where we have to lower the speed limits and mark off construction zones for miles and miles.

As a 40 year motorcyclist with 1000's of miles under my belt I've seen it all. My "near misses" must be approaching 1 per 100 miles. The incompetence is staggering.

We have no idea what happened in this incident but it could be some bozo pulled in front of him or ran them off the road. I know the europe has stricter driving expectation (especially Germany) but I'm sure they have plenty of incompetents as well. Easy to blame on the driver but it's often not the case.
