Motorists and commuters on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were trapped for hours, with many forced to spend the night on the highway following a major traffic disruption on Tuesday. The gridlock was triggered by a multiple-vehicle crash involving seven vehicles at Kara Bridge during the early hours of the day, disrupting traffic heading toward Ogun State and stretching back into Lagos.
The severe congestion, which left individuals stranded for over 12 hours, was exacerbated by ongoing repair works along the expressway. The incident highlights the vulnerability of the critical transport corridor to major accidents and infrastructure bottlenecks, causing widespread disruption for travellers moving between Lagos and Ogun State.
