Burst tyre and speed contributed to Joshua crash say investigators
Preliminary investigations attribute the crash to a burst front passenger tyre and overspeeding during an overtaking maneuver on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
- On December 29, a Lexus SUV carrying Anthony Joshua crashed on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, killing Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele while Joshua was hospitalized in stable condition at Duchess International Hospital, Lagos.
- Investigators say a front passenger-side tyre burst while the vehicle was overtaking, with the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency spokesman confirming overspeeding caused loss of control into a stationary truck.
- Footage circulated online depicted shirtless, injured Joshua being helped from the wreckage, while photographs showed a mangled SUV and a damaged 18-wheeler truck towed near Sagamu.
- Evolve Gym announced a temporary closure on Tuesday at its Colindale and South Ruislip locations, as mourners gathered outside leaving flowers, candles, and taped tributes.
- Joshua's recent December 19 fight and public profile intensified attention on the crash, as he shared an Instagram video hours before with trainer Latif Ayodele, while his Nigerian heritage deepened local reaction.
