Vehicular traffic came to a standstill for 16
hours on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on
Friday, cutting short the trips of Eider-Kabir
holiday makers and other travelers.
The traffic logjam caused by an accident
involving a 30,000 liter petrol tanker snowballed
into frustrating spillover effect for road users
across other parts of Lagos metropolis, while
government agencies battled to evacuate it.
The petrol tanker was leaving Lagos for Ogun
State at about 12 am on Friday when it ran into
a pothole by New Garage, Berger.
Consequently, the tanker ran into the road
divider and eventually fell on its side blocking
the expressway. The impact of the fall caused
the tanker to detach its head from the body.
