Diagram reveals why Ayodele and Ghami died
Officials have since reassured the public that Joshua remains stable and conscious after the accident. Meanwhile, a diagram of the crash scene circulated online, offering insight into how the tragedy unfolded.
Shared by ACD MMA on X, the illustration shows the Lexus SUV striking the stationary truck at an angle, not head-on.
The front right side of the vehicle, where Latif and Sina sat, absorbed the greatest impact. This area was marked as the main collision zone.
In contrast, the left-rear section, where Joshua was seated, experienced significantly less force.
Below is the diagram:
The vehicle’s structural design and the angled nature of the crash helped preserve space around Joshua and the driver, reducing their injuries.
