LASTMA Responds to Tipper Truck Incidents on Kara Bridge

On Tuesday, an empty tipper truck was found hanging on the railings of Kara Bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, while another flatbed truck spilled its contents onto the road in two separate incidents towards Mowe, Ogun State. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) reported these incidents at approximately 7 am via their official X handle.

A tow truck was dispatched to evacuate the vehicles, and police officers from Adigboluja were present at the scene. LASTMA indicated that its officers were managing traffic movement towards Mowe, noting that traffic flow remained smooth at the time of the report.

Additionally, LASTMA reported a separate incident involving a broken-down, loaded DAF lorry with mechanical faults at Shasha Roundabout, which occupied about 70 percent of the road towards Akowonjo Roundabout. A tow truck was also contacted for this lorry's evacuation, with officers managing the traffic situation accordingly.
