Tragedy was partly averted in the early hours of Wednesday along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway as eight persons escaped death when a trailer conveying vehicles rammed into three other vehicles.
the Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun State Command, Ahmed Umar said the incident occurred on the Sagamu-Interchange stretch of the Lagos Ibadan expressway, with only two persons sustaining injuries.
It was gathered that a truck conveying cows reportedly lost control and collided with the vehicle in front resulting in multiple collisions.
In a separate incident, Umar said vehicle conveying petroleum products fell along the Redeemed axis last night causing a six-hour gridlock along the Mowe-Redeemed and Sagamu-Interchange to Redeemed stretch of the highway today.
He appealed to motorists to be cautious and ensure full concentration when driving.
