Four vehicles crash on Lagos-Ibadan expressway, worsens gridlock

A multiple-vehicle crash occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near the Otedola Bridge, involving three trucks and a car. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority reported the incident, stating that officers were dispatched to the scene for rescue and evacuation operations. The crash has caused significant traffic congestion, with the affected area stretching to the Toll Gate.

The traffic management agency is actively working on the incident to alleviate the impact and restore normal traffic flow. This crash comes at a time when commuters on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are already experiencing severe delays due to a previous accident at the Kara Bridge. The Kara accident involved seven vehicles and has led to over 14 hours of traffic disruption, with motorists still trapped in the congestion.

The situation has been exacerbated by impatient drivers attempting to bypass the gridlock, resulting in further chaos.
