A major road accident involving a container-laden truck and seven other vehicles caused severe traffic congestion at Cele Bus Stop on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway on Friday morning. The incident, which occurred during rush hour, disrupted vehicular movement for several hours, leaving many commuters stranded.
Eyewitnesses said the truck lost control and rammed into several cars and buses, leading to a pile-up. Emergency responders and traffic officials arrived at the scene to manage the situation and prevent further chaos.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed the accident and advised motorists to use alternative routes while the debris was being cleared.
“This accident could have been avoided if the truck had been properly maintained,” said one commuter at the scene.
