Driver charged over double tragedy car crash

Seat swap that saved AJ's life

ANTHONY Joshua swapped seats with one of his tragic pals just before the crash which killed them, it was reported yesterday.

The ex-world heavyweight champion was initially sat up front ahead of Monday's fateful journey.

But the driver asked him to move because his 6ft 6in frame was blocking the view of the wing mirror - so AJ shifted to sit behind the driver instead.

Latif Ayodele, 36, was in the front passenger seat, with Sina Ghami, also 36, behind him. Both were killed when the SUV hit a parked truck.

The driver, Kayode Adeniyi, 46, has been charged over the deaths. Officers did not specify what he is accused of.
