A truck overturned on the Otedola Bridge in the early hours of Friday, Jan. 23, causing a gridlock along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The gridlock caused motorists heading into Lagos to seek alternative routes.
Confirming the incident in a post on Facebook, the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos State Police Command said that a secondary accident occurred as a result of the overturned truck.
The post read, “Two serious accidents have occurred at Otedola Bridge, inward Lagos.
