Joshua's Driver Charged in Fatal Crash
Anthony Joshua, a famous boxer, was in a car accident in Nigeria.
The driver of his car, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, was charged with causing the accident because it killed two of Joshua's friends.
The accident happened when the car was speeding and tried to pass another car incorrectly, hitting a parked truck.
Joshua was hurt a little, but his friends did not survive.
The police are still investigating, and the driver will go to court on January 20.
The president of Nigeria said it was a very sad accident.
Anthony Joshua's driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, was charged with four counts, including causing death by dangerous driving.
The crash occurred on Monday on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, resulting in the deaths of two of Joshua's associates, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.
Preliminary findings suggest the crash was caused by speeding and a wrongful overtaking manoeuvre, leading to a collision with a stationary truck.
Joshua sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital for checks, where he remains stable.
The case was adjourned to January 20, with Kayode not having commented publicly on the case.
