A trailer loaded with cartons overturned on Ogunnusi Road inward Berger in Lagos in the early hours of Sunday after suffering a mechanical failure, prompting traffic diversion and emergency response by officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority.
Broken-down heavy-duty vehicles and mechanical failures involving articulated trucks are among the major causes of traffic congestion on Lagos roads, particularly along major corridors linking the mainland to commercial districts.
Traffic authorities routinely deploy diversion measures and recovery teams to clear affected routes and restore the free flow of traffic.
LASTMA disclosed the incident in a traffic update issued on Sunday, saying the accident occurred near Kosoko Junction.
