A series of accidents on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway early Wednesday disrupted traffic and left motorists stranded for hours.
The incidents occurred on Kara Bridge, a key route for vehicles heading out of Lagos.
In the first crash, which took place around midnight, a collision involving heavy-duty trucks and passenger vehicles led to the death of a bus driver, while four others sustained injuries.
The affected vehicles included container-laden trucks, buses, and articulated vehicles.
Shortly after, another accident occurred in the same area, adding to the traffic woes, although no casualties were reported in the second crash.
Emergency responders, including the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), and the police, worked to clear the scene.
Despite their efforts, traffic remained gridlocked, with congestion stretching to the Seven-Up area.
Authorities have attributed the crashes to overspeeding and urged motorists to exercise caution.
Drivers were advised to consider alternative routes or adjust travel plans as recovery operations continued.
