Anthony Joshua injured in car accident, two people dead

Anthony Joshua, the two-time world heavyweight champion, has been involved in a car crash that has killed two people, according to reports in Nigeria.

The Lexus Jeep, which was carrying Joshua, is said to have collided with a stationary truck along a busy highway of the Lagos-Ibidan expressway in Makun, Ogun State, Punch newspaper has reported.

The story also included the Jeep’s registration number as well as a photograph of Joshua, sitting in the back seat surrounded by broken glass.

The 36-year-old, whose parents are Nigerian, is said to have sustained minor injuries while two others 'died on the spot.' The investigation to determine the cause of the crash is currently ongoing.

An eyewitness, named as Adeniyi Orojo, who was also described as ‘part of the rescue mission’ described the full horror of the collision.

Orojo told Punch: “It was a two-vehicle convoy: a Lexus SUV and a Pajero SUV. Joshua was seated behind the driver, with another person beside him.

"There was also a passenger sitting beside the driver, making four occupants in the Lexus that crashed. His security detail was in the vehicle behind them before the crash.

"Other eyewitnesses and I began the rescue and flagged down oncoming vehicles to assist. A few minutes after the crash, officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps arrived. The passenger beside the driver and Joshua died on the spot."

Shocking, some idiot almost takes out the ex-heavyweight champ. It must’ve been a bad bad crash, very lucky he survived that.

He looks in a lot of pain being pulled out of there by what appears to be some random members of the public

Looks lucky to be alive. Also looks like he wasn't driving which will somewhat help his PR.

That's the pg version on x there's one of him in the back of the vehicle and dead bodies in the road

Could be the end of his boxing career. whiplash and truma will probably take its toll

[Taansend]

Bloody hell. Tragic for those who died & i hope Joshua recovers quickly

[knockout]

Wishing him and full and speedy recovery.

Being strong as an ox will have surely helped.

Tragic for those just minding their own business and hit by a speeding car ( if that’s what has happened)

Sportsmen really need to learn to stay away from fast vehicles, far too many incidents have ended careers or worse.

Geezer is clearly in a lot of pain and traumatised and half the pudenda there are trying to film him so they can get a few views on Instagram or what not.

Damn. Lost his BF just like that

[MightyWarrior]

That’s just awful, no wonder the poor guy looks in such pain. He’s also lost his best friend sitting right next to him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I wouldn’t blame him if he just retired.

Humanity is done

Sadly nothing new : humanity done long before . Remember the papz chasing Diana to her death and then trying sell the pix of her dying in the back of a Mercedes.

Horrible news

Condolences to the friends and family of the departed and praying AJ makes a quick recovery.

And yes humanity is lost.

Slightly off topic but I recently watched a documentary about the police and a female copper attended the scene of a fatal car crash, she knew the victim and had to run around to the parents house to tell them their son had died, before it was shared on facebook as there were kids there filming the body laying on the road, sad times.

My Mrs, saw those pics and said exactly the same thing.

[dookus]

RIP to the dead and wishing a speedy recovery to Joshua. That must be absolute hell to go through.

[KiwiRider]

Lucky he was in the back, the front is absolutely smashed and the two in there are dead. Going to fast says the Nigerian "safety" official.

I don't think the driver died if reported correctly.
