An empty tipper truck was left hanging from the railings of Kara Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday morning, while another truck spilled its contents onto the road in a separate incident nearby.
The incidents occurred inward Mowe in Ogun State at about 7 a.m., according to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The agency said the hanging tipper required evacuation, while a second vehicle, identified as a flatbed truck, spilled its load onto the road.
A tow truck was deployed to assist with the evacuation, while police officers from Adigboluja were also present at the scene.
LASTMA said its officers were managing traffic towards Mowe and that movement remained smooth at the time of its update.
The agency did not disclose what caused either incident or confirm whether anyone was injured.
The incidents have again drawn attention to road safety along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, a major route used daily by commuters, commercial drivers and heavy-duty vehicles travelling between Lagos and Ogun states.
Motorists were advised to exercise caution around affected areas and follow instructions from traffic officials.
