From Daily Mail:
Anthony Joshua has been injured in a car crash in Nigeria that left two other people dead.
Joshua, 36, was in a Lexus Jeep when it smashed into a stationary truck today shortly after 11am on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Makun.
Footage posted online shows the former heavyweight world champion boxer shirtless and looking dazed as he sits in the wrecked vehicle among shattered glass.
He is later seen in the front seat of an emergency vehicle, speaking to officials. It is reported that Joshua sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital. Two other people were pronounced dead at the scene.
“I can confirm an accident occurred and Anthony Joshua has been taken to hospital,” CP Lanre Ogunlowo, Commissioner of Ogun State Police. “A vehicle rammed into a stationary vehicle. Unfortunately, there were two fatalities. Anthony Joshua was treated by first-responders at the scene and then taken to hospital.”
A friend of Joshua’s said “he’s okay but badly shaken up.”
“Nobody knows quite what damage has been done, but was able to escape the wreckage,” the friend revealed. “Others weren’t quite so lucky so it’s been a traumatic ordeal which he’s trying to process.”
“We are trying to contact Anthony and in the meantime we don’t want to speculate on how he is but thankfully he appears okay from what I have seen in the images,” Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, told Daily Mail Sport. “We are awaiting more information on what has happened and will update in due course.”
