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.
