A private car fell off the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the early hours of Monday, April 7, causing panic in the area.

The incident disrupted traffic and drew a crowd of onlookers.

DAILY POST gathered that the vehicle was carrying four occupants at the time of the crash, all of whom sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, which confirmed the incident, said the driver was successfully rescued and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

In a post on its official X handle, LASTMA stated,

“Report of an accident of a car that fell from Otedola Bridge. The driver has been rescued and taken to the nearby hospital.

“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 crash occurred around the same spot where a gas-laden truck explosion claimed at least six lives several weeks ago.
