The driver of a car carrying boxer Anthony Joshua, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, is on trial in Nigeria for allegedly causing death by dangerous driving. The court heard that Kayode was attempting to overtake a moving truck when he lost control of the vehicle, resulting in a collision with a parked lorry. The crash, which occurred last December while the group was traveling to visit Joshua's father near Lagos, resulted in the deaths of Joshua's personal trainer and strength coach. Kayode denies the charges, which also include driving without a valid license. A second defendant, the driver of the stationary lorry, denies obstructing traffic. Evidence presented included debris and scattered soya beans found at the scene.
