Anthony Joshua, world-renowned boxer, was on Monday involved in a road accident in Makun area of Ogun State.

Eyewitnesses said the incident occurred along a busy stretch of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Joshua was reportedly travelling in a Lexus SUV with registration number KRD 850 HN when the vehicle collided with a stationary truck under circumstances that are yet to be fully ascertained.

Sources at the scene said the boxer sustained minor injuries and was promptly rescued. However, two occupants of the vehicle were confirmed dead on the spot.

Fans and well-wishers have since taken to social media to express concern over the incident, as authorities continue investigations into the cause of the crash.

Efforts to obtain official confirmation from the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement (TRACE) Commandant, Akinbiyi Babatunde, were unsuccessful, as calls to his phone did not connect.
