Multiple Accidents At Alapere

A trailer carrying sand this morning crushed five vehicles at Alapere, Ketu, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria

Although the cause of the accident could not be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, a witness said the truck’s brake failed and it crashed into no less than five private vehicles on the road.

The multiple accidents caused heavy traffic gridlock at the ever busy Alapere/Oworonsoki expressway and other adjoining routes.

The Lagos State traffic personnel have been drafted to the scene of the accident and they were seen trying to ease the gridlock. No life was lost.
