Several accidents near the NASFAT roundabout on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway have led to severe traffic congestion.
The crashes, which occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Sunday, involved two trucks and multiple other vehicles, causing significant disruption and leaving many motorists stranded.
Officials from the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and the Nigeria Police are on-site, working to manage traffic, clear the wreckage, and assist those affected.
“According to an eyewitness, the crash occurred when a trailer travelling from Lagos tried to avoid colliding with a smaller vehicle attempting to cross at the NASFAT roundabout.
“In the process, the trailer lost control and crashed into several vehicles at the turning.
“Emergency responders, including TRACE, the Police, and the FRSC, are currently on site, working to clear the wreckage,” he reported.
He also noted that one of the trucks, heavily loaded with watermelons, had been moved off the road to ease traffic flow.
Speeding and poor visibility have been cited as possible factors in the crashes, although the exact cause has not been confirmed.
When asked about casualties and the identification of the vehicles involved, Ojerinde said, “A report on the crash will be issued shortly.”
Meanwhile, motorists have been advised to exercise caution as rescue and clearance operations continue.
