"A well-placed source has also reportedly disclosed that an investigation by the Federal Road Safety Corps suggests that the driver of Joshua's vehicle was going at an excessive speed and was involved in dangerous overtaking. The investigators are finalising documentation for the Nigeria Police Motor Traffic Division, with prosecution for dangerous or reckless driving causing death said to be under consideration."
"According to an unnamed FRSC official, the driver of the truck also fled the scene immediately after the crash and has been declared wanted. Joshua himself narrowly escaped death in the crash on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway that killed Kevin Ayodele, known as Latz, and Sina Ghami. Both were 36 and, as well as being long-time friends of Joshua, were employed as personal trainer and sport and exercise rehabilitation coach, respectively."
"From the preliminary investigation that was conducted, definitely there was overspeeding on the part of the SUV Anthony Joshua was travelling in, Akinbiyi told reporters in Nigeria. In the course of that, the front tyre on the passenger side burst. That led to loss of control before the vehicle now swerved and rammed into the stationary truck that was parked. There was excessive speed."
A Federal Road Safety Corps investigation indicates the driver of Anthony Joshua's vehicle was overspeeding and overtaking dangerously, with prosecution for dangerous or reckless driving causing death under consideration. The driver of the truck fled the scene and has been declared wanted. The Lagos-Ibadan expressway crash killed Kevin Ayodele (Latz) and Sina Ghami, both 36 and employed as a personal trainer and a sport and exercise rehabilitation coach, respectively. A preliminary Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency inquiry found overspeeding and a front passenger-side tyre burst, causing loss of control and collision with a stationary parked truck. Joshua was taken to hospital in stable condition; the vehicle's driver was treated, discharged, and gave a police statement.
