A private vehicle plunged off the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early hours of Monday, triggering panic among commuters and passersby.
Reports indicate that the car had four occupants, all of whom suffered varying degrees of injury. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed the incident in a post on X, stating that the driver had been rescued and taken to a nearby hospital.
“Report of an accident where a car fell from Otedola Bridge. The driver has been rescued and taken to the nearby hospital. There is a traffic backlog from Otedola Bridge to Berger, inward Secretariat, but our officers are on the scene managing the situation effectively. Other officers are also on ground addressing the situation,” LASTMA said.
The crash occurred at the same location where a gas-laden truck explosion claimed the lives of at least six people just weeks ago.
