Car Plunges Off Otedola Bridge, 4 People Injured
Tension gripped commuters early Monday after a private vehicle veered off the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Motorway, injuring all four passengers on board.
Although no fatalities have been confirmed at the time of reporting, eyewitnesses said the passengers sustained varying degrees of injuries. Emergency services had yet to arrive as concerned bystanders and passersby worked to rescue the victims from the mangled wreckage.
The crash has sparked renewed concern, occurring not long after a fatal incident at the same location, where a gas-laden truck exploded following a loss of control, killing at least six people.
The latest accident has thrown the area into disarray, with traffic building up rapidly as drivers slow down near the scene. Authorities are yet to issue an official statement.
