Tragedy was averted in the early hours of Tuesday, along the Lagos-Sagamu expressway, after a tanker laden with PMS lost control and crashed into the construction barriers.
Contents of the tanker spilled on the road before men of the fire service arrived at the accident scene.
A combined team of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) diverted traffic to the other side of the road to ease gridlock, while efforts are ongoing to remove the obstruction.
In a statement by the FRSC Sector Commander, Ogun State, Corps Commander, Clement Oladele, said there is slow movement of traffic from Mowe to Sagamu, and due to that he is advising travelers to resist the urge of driving against traffic, as normalcy would be restored shortly.
