Anthony Joshua accident
British former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua was reported to have been involved in a car accident in Nigeria’s Ogun State that killed two people, according to local police. The crash occurred on Monday along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, a major thoroughfare linking Ogun State to Lagos, the country’s economic centre.
Police said Joshua, 36, sustained minor injuries when the car he was travelling in collided with another vehicle. Photos shared on social media appeared to show the boxer being extricated from a wrecked vehicle while wincing in pain.
Olusegun Ogungbemide, spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps, stated that preliminary investigations indicated the vehicle had been “travelling beyond the legally prescribed speed limit on the corridor, lost control during an overtaking manoeuvre” and crashed into a stationary truck parked by the side of the road.
