An overturned truck on Otedola Bridge in the early hours of Friday caused severe traffic congestion along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
According to reports, the traffic jam stretched from the Otedola Bridge to Berger, as motorists heading into Lagos struggled to find alternative routes.
The Lagos State Police Command’s Rapid Response Squad confirmed the incident on Facebook, noting that a secondary accident occurred as a result of the overturned truck.
“In the first incident, a fully loaded truck overturned, spilling its consignments onto the road and covering about 90 per cent of the carriageway. The second accident occurred directly behind the first crash, compounding traffic disruption in the area,” the post read.
Emergency responders were alerted, and motorists were advised to exercise caution around the area.
Confirming the situation, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) spokesperson Adebayo Taofiq said officers were on the ground managing traffic and assisting in rescue operations.
