A truck carrying two 20-foot containers overturned on the Otedola bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Wednesday morning, causing traffic disruption and bedlam.
The incident occurred after the Mack truck reportedly developed a battery or mechanical fault, and a private recovery team attempted to move the vehicle.
Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) were deployed to manage traffic and coordinate recovery efforts.
A crane has been dispatched to remove the fallen containers, while a heavy-duty tow truck is already at the scene.
The accident has resulted in a significant traffic backlog extending beyond the Kara bridge axis of the expressway.
LASTMA said recovery operations are ongoing, and more updates will be provided as the situation develops. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion.
