Tragedy occurred on Saturday following a tanker explosion at the Otedola Bridge, Berger Axis of Lagos State.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed the development, stating that the incident occurred about 2.00 am involving a tanker loaded with Premium Motor Spirit and a truck carrying other items.
Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyitolu, LASEMA Director-General, said both trucks were out-bound for delivery to Lagos.
“The Agency promptly responded to a fire outbreak after several distress calls were received from the control room at the above-mentioned address at around 0200hrs,” Oke-Osanyitolu said.
“On arrival at the incident scene, it was discovered that a 40fit containerized Truck loaded with fabric had a brake failure while moving inward Berger.
“It then collided with a tanker loaded with 33000 litres of PMS. The impact of the collision resulted in fire outbreak.”
Channels Television learned that a stationary truck with registration number KBG91XA containing PMS which wasn’t involved in the collision was equally affected by the fire.
However, there were no reported casualties.
Oke-Osanyitolu explained that a combination of responders have put out the fire, while the affected vehicles are being moved away with efforts to decongest traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Right now, the area has been cordoned off to prevent any further disaster as vehicles have been advised to make use of alternative routes.
