An empty tipper truck was left dangling from the railings of the Kara Bridge on Tuesday, creating a significant obstruction on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The incident occurred on the section of the road heading inward toward Mowe, where the suspended vehicle caused immediate traffic management issues for commuters traveling between the two major cities.
The bridge, which spans the Ogun River, is a critical artery for heavy commercial traffic linking Lagos State and Ogun State. The presence of the truck on the bridge's safety barriers disrupted the normal flow of vehicles in the affected lane.
While the specific cause of the truck becoming lodged in this manner was not detailed in the initial report, the situation required intervention to clear the hazard and restore full traffic capacity on the expressway.
