Fallen Truck On Gbagada Expressway. Credit: Faith Alofe
Motorists experienced slow-moving traffic on the Gbagada Expressway in Lagos on Thursday after two separate accidents, one involving two major trucks and another involving two trailers and five other vehicles, disrupted the free flow of traffic on the busy corridor.
Our correspondent, who was at the scene, observed heavy build-up of vehicles as officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, alongside tow trucks and a forklift, worked to clear the wreckage from the road.
By the time of filing this report, one of the trucks involved in the major accident had been successfully removed from the road, while efforts were ongoing to clear the second.
A second accident scene, located further along the expressway near Charlie Boy, had also drawn LASTMA’s response. The five vehicles caught up in that crash had been evacuated, and a tow truck was seen working to remove the two trailers still blocking the road.
