A fully-loaded truck overturned on the Otedola Bridge in the early hours of Friday, pouring its contents and causing a gridlock along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
As of the time of filing this report, the traffic jam had stretched backwards from the Otedola Bridge to the Berger axis, forcing motorists heading into Lagos to seek alternative routes, including a one-way drive on the outbound Lagos route.
The incident has been confirmed by the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command in a Facebook post, disclosing that a secondary accident occurred as a result of the overturned truck.
The post read, “Two serious accidents have occurred at Otedola Bridge, inward Lagos.
“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.
“Emergency responders have been alerted. Motorists are advised to drive with caution around the area.”
