anthony joshua who was driving

Anthony Joshua was not the one driving; he was a passenger sitting in the back seat of the Lexus SUV involved in the crash in Nigeria.

What happened

• Reports from Nigerian authorities and sports outlets state that Joshua was in the rear of a black Lexus SUV when it collided with a stationary truck on the Lagos–Ibadan expressway.

• Five adult men were in the vehicle; two sadly died, two were uninjured, and Joshua suffered relatively minor injuries and was taken to hospital in stable condition.

So who was driving?

• Official statements describe “the driver” losing control of Joshua’s vehicle after a suspected tyre blowout or while speeding and attempting an overtake, but they do not publicly name this driver.

• An eyewitness account reported Joshua seated behind the driver, with another passenger in the front and additional passengers beside him, confirming he was not at the wheel when the accident happened.

Why there’s confusion online

• Early social and forum chatter often just said “Anthony Joshua’s car crash,” which led some people to assume he was driving, even though detailed reports label him clearly as a passenger.

• As of the latest coverage, authorities are focused on the cause (speed, overtaking, or tyre blowout) and the tragic loss of two team members, rather than publicly identifying the driver by name.
