A well known Liverpool footballer as lost his life in a car crash , along with his brother.

He was driving a Lamborghini ice vehicle which blew a tire and exploded into a fireball upon impact .

This is very sad and tragic , but - contrary to elsewhere on the web - I don't think it's disrespectful to wonder if he would now be alive had he been driving a modern SUV . Even an electric one .

I think he would .

If you accept the butterfly effect then any number of things could have changed the outcome of that incident.

A pointless question really. They are both dead and nothing can change that.

Maybe, just maybe it might have happened in a VW beetle. How fast were they going? Young very wealthy men... any drugs?
Sorry if that's prejudiced and nasty

Well I think the question is valid. All safety progress happens with such a question. But fast cars crash. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of speed. I would be surprised if a tire failed on its own, but shit happens. It's long been known that driving to an airport is more dangerous per mile than flying.

He was overtaking at speed , what speed is yet to be determined.

The blown tire appears to be a product of the condition of the road and speed

I don't think anything but a high speed , ice supercar would have exploded and disintegrated in such a fashion .
