Photos: Trailer Falls Off Otedola Bridge, Spills Load

A trailer loaded with goods has collapsed and tumbled off the Otedola Bridge in Lagos this Tuesday morning. The cause of the accident could not be ascertained by Rocket Parrot as of the time of filing this report. However, photos from the scene of the accident showed that the driver of the trailer may have been trying to avoid a flooded section of the bridge before he lost control of the vehicle. The photos showed that the engine part of the trailer fell of the bridge while the loaded part remained on the bridge with some goods spilled. According to Gboyega Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Lagos State, "Otedola bridge this morning. Please plan your journey. A combined effort of LASEMA, LASTMA, Police is going on to restore normalcy." Akosile, however, failed to state whether there were casualties recorded as a result of the accident. More to follow...
