The trial of Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, the driver involved in the\u00a0crash that injured boxer Anthony Joshua and killed two members of his team, has been adjourned until November 17.<\/p>\n

The case, which began in January at a magistrate court in Ogun State, was adjourned from September 10 as proceedings continued over charges arising from the fatal crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.<\/p>\n

Joshua’s personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength and conditioning coach, Sina Ghami, were killed.<\/p>\n

Kayode faces charges including dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and operating a vehicle without a valid national driver’s licence.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old Kayode denies the charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors allege that Kayode was attempting to overtake another vehicle when the SUV carrying Joshua and his team crashed into a stationary truck.<\/p>\n

Joshua, a two-time world heavyweight champion, survived injuries he sustained in the crash in December last year and was later discharged.<\/p>\n
