The Spin

Narrative A

Mechanical failure caused this tragedy, not driver negligence. The brakes failed despite the driver following speed limits, and an illegally parked truck created the deadly hazard that made this accident unavoidable.

The Guardian Nigeria

Narrative B

Reckless driving killed two people and endangered a boxing champion. The driver exceeded speed limits, overtook dangerously, lacked a valid license and now rightfully faces serious criminal charges for causing death by dangerous driving.
