A vehicle fell off Otedola Bridge and plunged into a canal in Lagos following an accident that occurred on Monday morning.
Reports suggested the car had four occupants, all of whom
reportedly sustained varying degrees of injury.
In a post on its X page on Monday, the Lagos State Traffic
Management Authority (LASTMA) said only the driver was rescued and taken to
hospital.
“Report of an accident of a car that fell from Otedola
Bridge. The driver has been rescued and taken to the nearby hospital,” the post
reads.
“There is backlog from Otedola Bridge to Berger inward
Secretariat, but our officers are on scene managing the situation effectively.
“Other officers are also on ground doing the needful.”
The incident is coming weeks after a gas-laden tanker keeled
over under the bridge, sparking an explosion that killed two and injured six.
The fire outbreak affected nearby structures, including a
church, a residential house, and a mechanic yard, causing significant damage in
the surrounding area.
