The heartbreaking last message sent by his wife just before the accident was released to the late Diogo Jota, who died in an unexpected car accident.

Citing Jota's upcoming official biography in Portugal, Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that "Jota's widow, Cardoso Rutte, told the unfortunate story of sending a wedding video to watch with her husband when he pulled over."

Jota, who died at the age of 28, was involved in an accident while driving a Lamborghini uracan worth 180,000 pounds (about 350 million won) on a highway in Spain in the early morning of July last year. At the time, he was on his way to Santander with his brother Andre Silva to take a ferry to England, advised to avoid boarding a plane in the aftermath of a previous lung surgery.

"The part that shocked me the most is the last message that Jota never received," Portuguese TV show host Isabel Figueira said on the broadcast, referring to Jota's biography. Lute, who was not aware of the accident, sent a video of the wedding that had just arrived and said, "Honey, call me when you pull over. I left a text message saying, "I have something to show you," but I didn't get a reply at the end. When she couldn't reach her, she became anxious and reportedly called a hotel near the scene of the accident where her husband was supposed to stay.

Jota and Rutte, who were childhood friends, married at a church in Porto on June 22 last year, just 11 days before the accident, after a 13-year relationship.

Rutte also recalled her husband's frugal life through the book. "Unlike most athletes who like fancy cars or jewelry, Jota was not interested in that at all, and the car we had was enough," she said. "I was not interested in cars, so I just had the opportunity to ride Ferrari, and I rented a Lamborghini after returning it on the morning of the wedding day." Currently, Lute is living back in Gondomar, Portugal with his children.

The book also contains the tragic feelings of the brothers' parents losing their two sons at the same time. His father, Joaquin, felt ominous when he received Rutte's urgent call, and vented that his return home after learning of the tragedy was "the worst thing imaginable."

Her mother, Isabel, also texted her younger brother Andre around 11:23 p.m., but did not receive a reply, and had to hear from her husband like a bolt from the blue that "it was both."

The biography also included messages of condolences from several Portuguese national team colleagues and friends, including current Liverpool coach Arne Slot, former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, and Portuguese national team coach Roberto Martinez, as well as Hoobeng Díaz and Bernardu Silva.

Meanwhile, immediately after the accident, Spain's Samora Regional Police announced that "the driver of the vehicle was a steering wheel, and speeding is likely to be the cause of the accident." Shortly after the accident, a fire broke out in the vehicle, killing both passengers at the scene. On the other hand, residents near the accident site criticized the police announcement, saying that the poor condition of the road was the problem.
