The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Lagos Sector Command, in collaboration with the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, has urged motorists to use alternative routes following multiple auto crashes on Kara Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early hours of Friday, claiming one person.

The incident has led to terrible gridlock with motorists stranded in long queues.

According to reports, the first crash occurred at about 12:05 a.m. on the outbound carriageway towards Ibadan, involving five articulated trucks and a Toyota Sienna vehicle.

However, preliminary investigation by FRSC indicated speed violation and loss of control as the cause.
