A truck carrying diesel just ran into vehicles along the Gbagada - Iyana Oworo bridge crushing five cars.



According to an eyewitness, no one died but several people were injured.



LASTMA officials who are now on ground confirmed the accident saying, 'there's a multiple accident involving a loaded tanker and 5 vehicles at the descend of Gbagada bridge and recovery work is on-going at the moment'.

That tanker failed brakes

That point is a deep slope beginning with a high bend. Those tankers usually have bad brakes and their brakes are incapable of holding the vehicles once fully loaded.

What they do is that they descend the slope very slowly and when descending, they use their tyres to rub the culvert for the friction to slow the trucks. While doing this, there are area boys that clear vehicles in front of the tanker and divert vehicles coming from Olopomeji via Iyana Oworo.

I have seen this nonsense happen severally on this particular point and the truth is that if this madness isn't stopped, it would happen again. Lastma officers are around that area but they turn a blind eye to these trucks constituting risks on the road.

Why are there no explosions?

If it's in Hollywood now, that car on top will spin 180 degrees.

Land on the others and magically stimulate an explosion.

While the hero walks away from the inferno.

It's not a matter of NEW YEAR EVE, so long as proactive measures are not taken then the WORST is yet to HAPPEN.
We always Use GOD and PRAYERS as BACK UPS for LAZINNES and LAXITY.

Had similar experience in that same spot two years ago. Seven cars were damaged that day. Those tankers drivers should be very careful when coming down from that bridge
