An accident involving a container-laden truck on the Kara Bridge axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway severely disrupted vehicular movement on Friday morning, causing a long traffic jam.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) said the crash, which occurred around 7:40 a.m., led to multiple collisions involving several vehicles, causing a traffic jam stretching as far as the Otedola Bridge area.

In a statement issued shortly after the incident, LASTMA confirmed that recovery operations had commenced, and two lanes had been reopened to ease the congestion.

“Some of the vehicles affected have been successfully recovered from the road. Two lanes are now opened for vehicular movement inward OPIC,” the agency said.

Efforts to evacuate the container truck from the expressway were still ongoing as of the time of reporting.

“LASTMA personnel and other emergency responders have swung into action to rescue victims and clear the affected vehicles,” the statement added.

The traffic authority appealed to road users for patience and cooperation as operatives worked to fully restore normal flow along the busy corridor.

“The incident has dragged traffic backwards to Otedola Bridge. Patience is required from road users,” LASTMA said.

Photos released by the agency showed long queues of vehicles in gridlock, as emergency operations continued at the scene.

If Lagos was what you claim it to be. Lastma wouldn't have swung into action this quick and traffic will still be congested till now. Kindly learn to stay on topic, don't change subject!

He needed attention and you gave it to him.

There has been a rail line to Ibadan for a few years now. Why can stockyards be built at Ibadan and the Ore spur such that inland bound containers can proceed by road from those places until a proper national rail netwtk is established.

It will be a lot more profitable and strategic than passenger carrying railways alone.

That road is too busy for an interstate road. I guess it's because of the residential areas springing up there.

OOPS!

This is crazy
