Fully loaded petroleum tanker falls on Otedola bridge

There was panic early Tuesday morning, May 5, at the Otedola bridge inward Berger, Lagos state, as a tanker fully loaded with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) known as petroleum fell.

This was disclosed by social media users @Naijaheartbeats and @taylsunbo via @Gidi_Traffic on Twitter.

Wothappen.com gathered that the fallen tanker spilled its content in the process and some commuters have stormed the scene to scoop fuel with kegs.

Fortunately, there was no explosion and emergency officials were swiftly mobilized to the scene.

The heavy traffic gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway has started to build as the responders continue to work to contain the situation.
