Scenes of a multiple accident on the Otedola bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Lagos... on Sunday.
An
unidentified woman and a pregnant lady were said to have died in the
multiple accidents which occurred close to Otedola Bridge, along the
Alausa area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday.
A large number of people were also said to have sustained injuries in the accidents.
The accidents, which happened about three times, were as a result of a series of multiple collisions involving over 25 vehicles.
The first accident was said to have been caused by an NNPC tanker with number plate, XG 321 MKA.
The tanker was allegedly on top speed and had a brake failure.
It rammed into the vehicle in front.
Eyewitnesses said the development led to further collisions as other
vehicles, which had slowed down because of the traffic snarl on the
expressway, ran into one another due to the impact of the tanker.
