No fewer than three people were killed on Wednesday after a container on a 40-feet trailer fell off the Ojuelegba Bridge onto the road below.According to Punchng, the container, which was not latched to the trailer, crushed two private vehicles which were in motion.
The vehicles, a white Toyota and a black jeep, were reportedly mangled under the weight of the container.The situation was said to have caused traffic snarl in the area as traffic officials had a tough time controlling the number of people trooping the scene and redirecting the traffic.
The driver of the trailer reportedly attempted to escape the scene. He was, however, apprehended by the angry mob. A witness, who identified himself as Sir J, said the accident happened around 4.50pm. He said, “It happened around 4.50pm, as we were all in the park doing our businesses.
“The container on the 40-feet trailer suddenly fell off the bridge and crushed two private cars. “The driver of the trailer wanted to flee, but we apprehended him. There is chaos everywhere.”
A check on social media by our correspondent showed the accident was already trending, as people called on government officials to intervene.
