Heavily Loaded Truck Falls on Otedola Bridge, Causes Gridlock

A heavily loaded truck has fallen on a lane on Otedola Bridge, Ojodu Berger, Lagos State, leading to gridlock on the busy road.

The accident, which happened on Tuesday, has resulted in traffic congestion inward Lagos/Ibadan Expressway and Ojodu Berger as the bridge is flooded.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), however, disclosed that effort is on to remove the truck from the road.

LASTMA in a post on X wrote, "A fatal accident involving an upturned loaded (wheat) truck that has taken a lane on Otedola bridge in Ojodu Berger.
