Experts analyzing the crash site have determined that tyre marks were found approximately 100 meters from the impact zone, correlating with the time of the blowout. Despite speculations regarding an uneven asphalt surface, police affirmed that the roadway is not known for accidents and should have permitted high-speed travel.

The crash happened shortly after Jota married his longtime partner Rute Cardoso in Portugal, and the two were accompanied by Jota's brother as they made their way to Santander. Both were laid to rest in Gondomar, Portugal, in recent days, mourned by family, friends, and teammates. A formal report on the circumstances surrounding the accident is underway, ahead of legal proceedings related to the incident.
