Photos from Jose Antonio Reyes' crash scene as it is revealed he died with his cousin and another man

It has been revealed that former Arsenal and Real Madrid star, Jose Antonio Reyes, who died in a car crash on Saturday at the age of 35, was killed along with his 23-year-old cousin and another man when the vehicle they were travelling in overturned and burst into flames in Utrera, Seville.  

According to Spanish media, he was reportedly on his way home to his wife and three children after training. His cousin Jonathan Reyes, 23, a back seat passenger, also died along with a third man called Juan Manuel Calderon who managed to get out of the vehicle but suffered first degree burns to 60 per cent of his body that ended up claiming his life after he was rushed to Virgen del Rocio hospital in Seville.

Spanish police said they believe Reyes was driving his Mercedes Brabus S550V at 120 miles per hour - some 50mph over the speed limit on the A-376 motorway near Alcala de Guadaira, outside Seville.  The car was completely burned out after it crashed from the motorway and ended up on its roof. 

The town hall said in a statement: 'This morning Utrera-born Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic accident on the A-376.

'Another relative of Jose Antonio's has also died.

'Jose Antonio has been a much-loved person in our town since the start of his footballing career with Seville Football Club, always carrying the flag for Utrera.'

Jose Antonio Reyes is survived by his wife and three children.
