A serious road accident occurred today, December 30, 2025, at the notorious Sapele Road Bypass in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.
In this footage, witness the chaotic aftermath as a massive heavy-duty truck (trailer/tanker) lies overturned on the badly deteriorated dirt road filled with deep potholes and rough terrain. An excavator is actively working to lift and recover the flipped vehicle amid a large crowd of concerned onlookers, helpers, and motorists.
The poor state of the road – a long-standing "death trap" plagued by neglect, potholes, and ongoing reconstruction delays – is clearly visible and widely blamed for contributing to this incident. Heavy vehicles often struggle here, leading to frequent accidents, especially during the festive season.
Thankfully, no confirmed casualties reported in this specific crash, but it highlights the urgent need for proper road repairs to prevent more tragedies.
Lord have mercy 🙏 Pray for the safety of all road users in Edo State.

Edo state is actually topping the worst state in the whole federal state in terms of road infrastructure.

Their present governor is the worst so far, all he is good at is licking tinubu ass

With roughly over 75% of all projects going to South West since 1999, there's nothing tangible to show in terms of good roads.

Hope there was no casualties

2025 doing it best to swallow many Nigerians

May God guide and protect us

Nigeria happened to the Truck. 😁

Where exactly is the D7 governor working
He has been making noise every now and then how he is committed to serve Edo people bla bla. Good roads bla bla

I could remember when Godswill Akpabio was a governor, he was working both federal and state roads across Akwa Ibom

Get education you said know.

A primary school child knows Edo state in not in the South West.
But your ignorance seems not to be your problem

you mean the Truck do backfleet

ehhh, na road be diz?

who is the governor or local govt chairman of that place...

Federal roads needs to be privatized for tax relief to business owners that can put the road in good shape and even make money from it if possible

See Apapa Oshodi road after a while Lagos state government gave it up for Dangote for a 10 years tax waiver

Ogun State, Edo State and Kogi State

I don't know which is worse/top between this states in terms of bad roads

Hmmmm

don't call that thing ROAD. that is a poto poto pool of mud

Nothing to see here. Roads in that part of the country are bad and very chaotic. Trucks are either flipping or blocking the road.

Flip flop on the highway

Nigeria government officials are basta.rds

And one person say Nigeria is the best country

Anu

aswani won't bathe an eyelid even if the road caves in. Instead of him to pressure his akpakomaster F9 parallel governor to lobby his federal APC oga to help him fix his own side of that road

Instead aswani will be pursuing Igbo threads upandan masking his obvious bigotry with 'i am chasing obidients'

Choi! Caterpillar machines that should have been engaged in fixing the bad road is now being employed to rescue heavy duty vehicles and trailers.

The video is not showing any thing meaningful

With 90% of all security budget going to the North since 1999, there's nothing tangible to show in terms of security.

You are correct Gov D7 is a plague cast on edo by persons who were envious of EDO

We have roads like this that require urgent repairs and reconstruction for immediate use, but the Tinubu govt prefers to spent trillions on naira on Lagos-Calabar expressway that would take several years to complete

Is this what we call Road? Hmmm Nigeria chaii

You dey mind am, Sapele road video from when Oghiọnba was governor and he put a foolish sign on there talking about "bear with us, this is Federal road".

Akpakomezer already working on it and even putting a bridge there to alleviate the traffic.
