Severe traffic congestion is ongoing along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway following a trailer accident that occurred at around 1am on Tuesday.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the trailer fell on the expressway at around 1am and was yet to be removed as of Tuesday morning, leaving motorists with only one available lane to navigate the affected section.

The situation has continued to worsen as more vehicles join the standstill, resulting in a long stretch of traffic and delays for motorists travelling through the affected stretch.

An eyewitness, Miss Tolani, who spoke with PUNCH Metro, said vehicles had been virtually at a standstill since the trailer fell at around 1am.
