Eyewitness recounts scene of Anthony Joshua's accident
The event led to the death of two men who were close friends to the boxer, and this sparked emotional reactions from Nigerians.
Speaking to @SkyNews on Instagram, an eyewitness, identified as Ajala Yusuf Oluwaseyi, recalled the moments surrounding the crash.
In his narration, he noted that the sound which first drew attention did not immediately signal a serious collision, causing people in the area to initially misjudge the situation.
According to him, the loud impact led bystanders to believe that a truck had suffered a tyre failure.
It was only after people moved closer to the scene that the true nature of the incident became clear.

The car involved had reportedly slid underneath a truck that had been parked along the road, a sight that left witnesses deeply heartbroken.
Ajala's eyewitness account stressed on the emotional weight of the moment as he recounted how the shock of seeing the wreckage affected the boxer, explaining that the scene was so distressing that he struggled to react or speak immediately afterwards.
In his words:
"We heard a noise boom. We thought it was a truck's tyre that got bursted. We just saw a car drove under a truck that parked at the highway. We had to rush there to check what happened. He was shocked when he saw the incident. He couldn't talk."

Nigerians stormed the comments section to react to the post.
Officialdaddymo said:
"Why are there large trucks parked on the side of the road without Caution signs? He should have been transported in a safer manner and not made to walk to the car and sit down. There was no stretcher. The emergency services are inadequate. This has shed more light on the Systemic failure that plagues our country. May the souls of the departed rest in peace."
