Police Pinpoint Tyre Burst, Speed in Anthony Joshua's Fatal Crash

  • Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was involved in a car crash in Nigeria on December 29, resulting in the deaths of two friends, Kevin Ayodele and Sina Ghami.
  • Joshua, traveling in a black Lexus Jeep, sustained minor injuries when the vehicle collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
  • Nigerian police now believe the crash was caused by a tyre blowout due to excessive speed, contradicting an earlier theory of overspeeding while overtaking.
  • Joshua was seated in the back of the car and is currently in stable condition in hospital.
  • Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expressed condolences to Joshua and his mother, Yeta Odusanya, assuring him of the best medical care.
