The accident involved a Lexus SUV conveying Joshua and members of his team and a stationary truck on the highway.
Joshua, who was in the vehicle at the time of the crash, sustained minor injuries and was later discharged from the hospital.
Two other occupants of the SUV, members of his support team, were confirmed dead.
The police had earlier detained the driver as part of ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash, which sparked widespread public attention due to Joshua’s international profile.
