“Report of an accident of a car that fell from Otedola Bridge. The driver has been rescued and taken to the nearby hospital,” the agency wrote.
LASTMA added that traffic had built up in the area following the incident but assured that its officers were managing the situation.
“There is backlog from Otedola Bridge to Berger inward Secretariat, but our officers are on scene managing the situation effectively. Other officers are also on ground doing the needful,” the post read.
The accident occurred around the same spot where a gas-laden truck exploded a few weeks ago, killing at least six people.
