Motorists along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were stranded on Wednesday morning as multiple accidents on the Kara Bridge paralysed movement along the ever-busy road.

The accidents occurred on the Kara Bridge outward Lagos, involving container-laden heavy-duty trucks and cars. In total, eight vehicles were involved in the two accidents.

One person was confirmed dead and four others injured in the first leg of the accidents which happened at midnight, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said.

“The bus driver died instantly and the park association took his corpse,” Lagos Sector Commander of the FRSC, Kehinde Hamzat, told Channels Television.

The second leg of the accident occurred almost immediately but no life was lost.

FRSC officials and policemen were seen at the scene of the incident doing all they could to remove the obstruction and ease traffic.
