Driver Falls Off Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Bridge In Lone Accident
An unidentified trailer driver has reportedly fallen off the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway bridge between Berger, Lagos State, and Isheri, Ogun State, a police officer said on Saturday.
According to the police officer, the accident occurred early Saturday morning.
He however noted that the cause of the accident as of the time of filing this report had yet to be identified.
Men of the Nigerian Police Force and the Federal Road Safety Corps were on the ground to maintain the free flow of traffic and security of lives and properties.
According to the policeman who claimed he had just arrived at the scene, preliminary investigations revealed that the driver fell off the bridge as a result of the accident.
He said, “We got here about 10 minutes ago (8:00 am) and we heard that the driver fell off the bridge. That is the information we have at hand now.
“We are yet to ascertain what caused the accident, we have no information on the whereabouts of the driver, and neither can we ascertain yet if there were casualties,” he added.
However, efforts to speak to eyewitnesses proved abortive as nobody was willing to speak on the cause of the accident, the whereabouts of the driver and if there were casualties.
