British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua was involved in a serious car crash in Nigeria on Monday, December 29, which resulted in two fatalities and left the athlete with minor injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collision occurred on the Ogun\u2013Lagos state expressway, in a region where Joshua has family roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Ogun State Police Command, Joshua was a passenger in a Lexus SUV that struck a stationary truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was among four occupants in the vehicle, with his security detail following in a separate car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police confirmed that two people died in the accident. Joshua and other injured individuals were transported to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyewitness Adeniyi Orojo told The Punch that bystanders and officials from the Federal Road Safety Corps quickly responded to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photos and videos circulating online showed a topless Joshua appearing dazed and in pain at the crash site, while other footage depicted the tragic aftermath with two bodies on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident comes just over a week after Joshua\u2019s high-profile boxing victory over Jake Paul in Miami, a match streamed live on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have not indicated the cause of the crash, and Joshua\u2019s condition is described as stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This report is based on information from the Ogun State Police Command, BBC News, The Telegraph, and eyewitness accounts published in The Punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
