A serious accident between a loaded trailer and a car occurred on the popular Otedola bridge today, September 12, 2023.
It involved a loaded truck and a car.
The impact of the accident left the head of the trailer hanging over on the other side of Olowopopo underpass.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority LASTMA says it is working to recover the truck and its contents from the bridge as the obstruction has led to a gridlock.
The agency offered no information on the status of the drivers of both vehicles. But the use of fatal suggests that at least a life was lost in the accident.
See LASTMA’s tweet:
“A fatal accident involving an upturned loaded( wheat ) truck that has taken a lane on Otedola bridge inw Ojodu Berger. Traffic is a bit slow coupled with the flooded portion on the bridge.”
