Hundreds of motorists were left stranded following an early-morning multiple-vehicle crash on Kara Bridge, inward Mowe/Ibafo, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The accident, which occurred around midnight, involved a Toyota Sienna and two Nissan Cabstar trucks, causing significant damage to the vehicles.
According to the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA), the collision was triggered by an articulated trailer that had overturned earlier on the bridge.
Officials of LASTMA, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), and the Nigeria Police were at the scene coordinating traffic and recovery efforts. Tow trucks were also deployed to remove the affected vehicles.
The incident caused severe traffic congestion stretching from Kara Bridge to Otedola Bridge, with the Isheri-Olowora axis and Ogunusi Road also affected by the gridlock.
