These images show footballers in Brazil driving at 80 mph moments before one of them died when the car hit a pole.

Adriano Bololo, 25, a star in X1 Brazil, a variant of football featuring teams composed of a player and a goalkeeper, with a focus on mastering dribbling, attacking, and defending, died in the crash, with the other people in the car left injured.

Bololo had just won his fourth consecutive game against Laboba at X1 Brazil on 28th November before joining his four friends, Raul Xavier, Caio, Joao Paulo, and Da Lua, to watch an unofficial match in the city of Mossoro, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in Brazil.

He died in the city of Fortim while returning to the city of Fortaleza, both in the state of Ceara, in Brazil, after the match, on 30th November.

In the footage, Paulo can be seen dancing around while driving at a speed of 129 kph (80.15 mph), well above the maximum speed of 60 kph (37.28 mph), according to reports.
