Four-Vehicle Crash Causes Heavy Traffic on Lagos Apapa-Oshodi Expressway

A collision involving a Hilux van, a container-laden truck, a patrol van and a Toyota occurred Tuesday at Cele Express, toward Mile 2, on Lagos’s Apapa-Oshodi Expressway. LASTMA suspects mechanical failure, possibly a brake malfunction, and says an unconfirmed number of victims were taken to hospital. The agency deployed personnel to guide motorists and divert traffic onto alternative routes, and urged drivers to exercise caution. Days earlier, a crash involving a truck and a bus on Alaro City Bridge in Epe killed four people and left 13 critically injured.
