A truck collided with a pedestrian bridge in Alapere Estate, Ketu, Lagos, in the early hours of Friday, resulting in the bridge's collapse. The incident, which happened around midnight, was initially reported by Umar-Farouq Ogbe, a resident of the estate, who posted a video of the collapsed bridge on social media.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed the accident, explaining that the truck became stuck under the bridge, leading to its structural failure. The truck, carrying metal, exceeded the height limit of the bridge.
The debris from the collapsed structure caused substantial traffic congestion along the Ketu-Alapere route towards Berger. Authorities are currently addressing the situation, and additional information will be soon provided. Motorists and residents are urged to avoid the affected area and take alternative routes until the issue is resolved.
