LAGOS – A multiple auto accident that occurred Wednesday morning on Otedola Bridge inward Berger, has trapped many people causing traffic build-up along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
In a reaction to the incident, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LATSMA), said the “accident involved a containerized truck, a pickup, and a high capacity bus as well as several cars.”
According to LATSMA, “the accident is said to involve up to 10 vehicles,” while it advised motorists to “use CMD road from Secretariat towards Otedola for now as we await more updates on this situation.”
The Lagos State-owned agency under the ministry of transport, in a post on its Twitter handle, @followlatsma said “Casualties still trapped in the pickup. The road is totally blocked for now. Emergency agencies are on the ground.”
LATSMA said as a result of the accident, “the backlog of traffic now extended to Ojota Bridge for those going between Berger, while the backlog for those going between tollgates have merged with the traffic from Kara.”
