Liverpool Soccer Star, 28, Killed in Car Crash 2 Weeks After Wedding

Liverpool soccer player Diogo Jota and his brother died in a car crash in Spain, authorities said Thursday.

Jota, who played for the English Premier League champions—which is owned by Fenway Sports Group (FSG)—as well as the Portuguese national team, died just two weeks after he married his childhood sweetheart.

The dad-of-three was traveling with his 26-year-old brother, André Silva, also a professional soccer player with Portuguese team Penafiel, when their vehicle crashed and caught fire on a motorway in Spain early hours of Thursday morning.
