Pictures show the wreckage of the car being taken away with the vehicle completely burned out.

Reports in Spain state that a third person is in a serious condition with burns to 60 percent of their body.

Some reports also claim that investigators are considering the possibility that the car – with Reyes believed to have been behind the wheel – was driving at around 120mph (193kph) when it left the motorway and hit concrete barriers before bursting into flames.

Former Sevilla, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Atletico star Reyes is survived by two young daughters with his wife Noelia Lopez, and an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship.

On the news of his death, tributes poured in from around the world, including from former clubs and teammates. 

Reyes, who won 21 caps for Spain, was signed for Spanish lower-league club Extremadura at the time of his death. 

A minute's silence will be held before Saturday night's Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid.
