Over 30 vehicles held in traffic with almost 10 commuters were burnt to death in the inferno on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, opposite Michael Otedola Housing Estate, along Mowe, before Berger this evening.
The vehicles were reportedly burnt to ashes as a result of a fallen petrol tanker which hit a pavement and catches fire along the Otedola bridge, of Lagos Ibadan expressway. Cause of the accident seems to be as a result of Brake Failure.
The Joint Rescue Operation involving FRSC, LASEMA, NPF, RRS, NSCDC, Lagos State Fire Service, LASTMA were on ground to assist in clearing the incident area. As at the time of this report, over 10+ persons have been reported dead, 4 injured

This man above wasn't even worried about his car because it could have been his life! God help us.
LESSON - Please friends, always save yourself first! As long as you have life, everything can be replaced!
PLEA/ADVISE TO NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT
Why should tankers go through the same road with normal commuters? Can't fuel and other PMS be transported through Trains? Rather a separate route for tankers alone?
This is not so in other nations. FRSC and other force don't stop trailers for inspection but cause of bribery they stop smaller ones for seat belts.
Government please make the roads safe for motorist! We are tired of all these!
May the souls of the dead Rest In Peace.
