Plus - the Corp insist the truck wasn't parked on the road or illegally.
I just don't know why they would be making that a point when the accident occured in broad daylight. Stunt driving gone wrong .

The driver’s bail was set at 5 million Naira, and his case adjourned to 20th January for his trial.

Rubbish

I'm very sure it was the handiwork of the boys on site. If you don get accident before for Lagos, you go understand.

They'll search you immediately they get there and shouting all kinds of things while searching you.
Oga are you all right, e never die? Eh, this one don die, see blood!! And their hands go dey roam everywhere while making such noice....

The driver couldn't have intentionally crashed the car and if he truly applied the brake pedal and it didn't respond, then the fault is not his but the trailer driver who parked illegally and should be held responsible

I hope this chochocho does not affect their case in court. All these should be revealed by investigators and not some family member when the case is even yet to resume trial.

I'll never understand why Nigerians think legal cases are a joke and they keep falling to the temptation of social media "shalaye". They are hurting their own cases without even realizing it.
The case will be dropped soon

It’s sad that lives were lost!

Any accident, including Truck accidents, they drivers usually put it on brake failure. I don’t know if forensics are conducted to actually confirm these .

A driver sleeps off or is drunk, and accident happens, he would blame it on the brakes.

the man was driving without a license

he is the perfect scapegoat

this matter has made international news and all agencies involved want to clean this up and close it out

the only way the driver is getting out of it is if AJ intervenes from behind the scenes

once you are in an officially documented accident without your papers in order - you are in for it

Re: Driver’s Son Reveals The Cause Of Anthony Joshua Road Accident by Ekaka14:
Both the man's son and the lawyers telling this Childish and annoying stories are ma.d....hear the lines below and tell me if it will ever make sense to say Anthony was blocking his view while sitting in front as if the SUV was designed for pigmies. He also claimed the truck parked on the shoulder of the road was a problem and that his Dad is not a fast driver, yet 2 people were unalived and on the spot from the impact of the collision with a stationary truck.
Someone should put a briddle in that young man's mouth and rein him in before w go enter trouble with im mouth...the lawyer is also not being professional and acting insensitive when he knows this case is still under investigation!! 🙄

Hear them below:

Kayode made the call because Anthony’s big frame was preventing him from seeing the side mirror properly.

The boxer, aged 36, then swapped seats from the front to the back of his SUV before the crash which killed Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele

“From what I understand, (late) Latif was in front,” but he then “changed seats with Anthony,” the lawyer added"

Most of these people are hungry people making money from other people misfortune...they're not telling the story endlessly because they care nut because I hear some of those platforms pay them...
Imagine Nigerians on the scene of the accident scavenged and even stole AJ's phone as if it was not bad enough that some guy even recorded the dead bodies on bare ground....we've lost our value and humanity in that country 😳

Dogalmighty17:
If Nigeria was a serious country, a qualified auto-mechanic would have been brought to take a look at the vehicle to ascertain if the brakes actually failed.
That said, except the driver was on high speed he would have properly negotiated to avoid the truck or he wants to say the steering wheel failed too?
What I see here is that the driver sacrificed the passenger side of the vehicle to escape death.
U don't need any qualified mechanic....all they need to do is check for screech marks on the road
Re: Driver’s Son Reveals The Cause Of Anthony Joshua Road Accident by fabolouz1(m): 2:32pm On Jan 05
God saved his life ,he could have still survived even if he sat at the front .
Anthony has almost the same body frame as the deceased so what're we not saying ?
It was excessive speed ,simple .

DrAda - Note even the driver's son says the truck was parked not on the road, but the side of the road.
But you will insist that it was all about the Truck!
I knew the truck was parked on the side of the road. My arguement is that no car should be left on the side of roads because of the risks of causing accidents. Let's put this matter to bed please. A little research on this can help expand your view point.

A truck parked on the side of a road can cause accidents—especially if certain safety conditions aren’t met.

How a parked truck can lead to accidents
Reduced visibility: Large trucks block sightlines, especially on bends, hills, or narrow roads.

Sudden lane changes: Drivers may swerve late to avoid the truck, causing collisions.

Night-time risk: Poor lighting or lack of reflective markers makes the truck hard to see.

High-speed roads: Parked vehicles on highways or expressways are particularly dangerous.

Pedestrians & cyclists: They may be forced into traffic to go around the truck.


When it’s especially dangerous
No hazard lights, cones, or warning triangles
Parked close to a junction, bend, bridge, or hill crest
Poor weather (rain, fog, dust)
Roads without shoulders or lay-bys


Bottom line:
A stationary truck doesn’t move—but it can still be a major hazard. Parking heavy vehicles on the roadside without proper warning is a well-recognised cause of preventable road traffic accidents.

Son, if your father was a good and experienced driver... We won't driver to offset speed level, what do you mean break failed and the next thing for the driver was to loose control and face the truck on top speed..

If this is true then ... It's spiritual..

because experienced drivers handles break failure all the time with minimal casualty involved

All over the word, spaces are made on the sides of roads for broken down vehicles to be parked before they are towed if necessary.

On no planet are cars towed away within one second or instantly.
Re: Driver’s Son Reveals The Cause Of Anthony Joshua Road Accident by johngwain: 2:50pm On Jan 05
From the impact you will know the driver was speeding too much, something that tore the car and shattered that guys brains,

Re: Driver’s Son Reveals The Cause Of Anthony Joshua Road Accident by mukthar2000(m): 2:53pm On Jan 05
Sincerely speaking, this AJ and his friends accident really scare me, I was just speechless since the day of occurrency becos I keep asking myself unanswerable questions and glorifying Almighty Allah.


The driver should just be free from the Court case , having case with the driver is just like having case with Almighty Allah, the driver was just use to be the proximate cause of their death, the did has being done already and that is destiny of life .


Pray for the death
Pray for their forgiveness.
Build mousqe for them as sadajat jarihaa
Pray for the families
And let Almighty Allah be the magistrate judge of everything.


Rest on big bro we all miss u guys

I have told you severally that even if it was there for only five minutes, the same thing could happen and you would start blaming the truck when there is no where in the world where such can be evacuated in a nanosecond which is what your comments imply. You imply it should NEVER happen that a truck would be parked on the side of a road when it happens in every country all the time and provisions are even made for that.
Re: Driver’s Son Reveals The Cause Of Anthony Joshua Road Accident by AKWATGOLD1(m): 2:55pm On Jan 05
Hmmmmm. If the story that the driver has been driving AJ for over 3yrs anytime he comes to Nigeria for visiting. I will want to into the vehicle maintenance history (pls note it includes the transmission: Gear) if the vehicle well maintained because i have an experience like that on highway when a vehicle electrical functioning part just went off all of a sudden and nothing works again. Reason why i love driving manual vehicles because some accident incident can be avoided with manual vehicles.

Allah is not the Almighty creator of heaven and earth. Allah is the highest deity amongst the 360 deities in the Arabian kingdom. Allah exists before the era of Muhammad. Another name for Allah is Nanny sin, or simply sin. It is the God of the moon.

So next time, don't call yourself a believer and others non-believers. You need to repent and worship the only true God of Christians.
