A truck accident around the Kara Bridge area on Wednesday triggered a massive gridlock along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, leaving hundreds of motorists travelling from Lagos towards Ogun State stranded for several hours.
PUNCH Metro reports that travellers heading out of Lagos towards Ogun State were stranded for several hours, with the congestion lasting until about 12pm as motorists struggled to reach their destinations.
While inbound traffic to Lagos remained relatively free-flowing, commuters travelling towards Magboro, Ibafo and Mowe endured hours of delays, with queues stretching close to the Lagos State Secretariat as Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officials worked to clear the obstruction and restore normal traffic flow.
In an update shared via its official X handle on Wednesday, LASTMA said vehicular movement was temporarily halted to enable recovery teams to safely clear the accident scene.
