A multiple-vehicle crash involving three trucks and a car occurred at Otedola, just before the Otedola Bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, according to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). The agency reported that the crash took place shortly before 8am on Wednesday morning. LASTMA stated that their officers promptly mobilized to the scene to begin rescue and evacuation operations, with personnel from the Nigerian Police Force and other first responders providing support.

The incident has caused significant traffic congestion, stretching as far as the Toll Gate. LASTMA is actively managing traffic in the area to minimize the impact of the crash and restore normal vehicle movement.
