There was pandemonium in Lagos about 4:45pm on Wednesday, when a container skidded off the Ojuelegba bridge in Lagos, and landed on cars, crushing some occupants in the vehicles, leaving at least 2 people dead.
It was gathered that the about five tons container which was being conveyed by a heavy duty truck on the bridge, overturned and fell to the ground.
The frightening situation made the drivers around, including the driver of a white vehicle hit by the container to flee for their lives.
Sadly, the driver of the SUV, said to be a female, and another person were trapped underneath the container, which completely smashed the vehicle.
It took concerted effort of the Federal Fire Service, and other good Samaritans to evacuate the container.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, said there was just one occupant in the black SUV.
Farinloye, who said other rescue agencies were yet to get to the scene at the time of filing the report, disclosed that they were trapped in the gridlock caused by the accident.
