On Tuesday morning, September 12, 2023, road users traveling along the axis of Lagos-Ibadan expressway were caught up in a heavy traffic after a heavily loaded truck containing wheat fell on the Otedola bridge.
The accident has caused Ojodu Berger and the Lagos/Ibadan Motorway to become congested because of the flooded bridge.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, described the incident as fatal. They are trying to get the vehicle off the road.
“A fatal accident involving an upturned loaded (wheat) truck that has taken a lane on Otedola bridge in Ojodu Berger.
“Traffic is a bit slow coupled with the flooded portion of the bridge.
“Effort is on for the recovery of the contents and the truck from the road,” LSTMA tweeted.
