Luxury bus, truck collision causes snarled-up traffic on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Passengers along the Berger-Kara axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were trapped in gridlock on Thursday morning following an accident that occurred on the Kara section of the expressway.

It was gathered from that the accident occurred when a bus suspected to belong to a transport company and a container-laden truck collided. A private car was said to have also rammed into them.

Traffic was affected as the vehicles involved in the accident blocked the road.

Travellers coming from Berger inward to Mowe-Ibafo were trapped in the gridlock for several hours.

A commuter said, “There was an accident this morning at Kara along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The accident has caused gridlock stretching from Kara to Berger.”

Though it is not clear if any life was lost, the massive gridlock was said to have continued to stretch as more vehicles joined the heavy traffic.
