Thankfully, a traffic official helped motorists move slowly on only one side.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened.

Although, there was no death or injuries this time, a fallen truck and container led to the death of three people on Sept. 2nd.

On this fateful day, a container on a trailer, heavily loaded with cement, fell and landed on two cars at the Ojuelegba bridge.

The driver of the truck, Wasiu Adeleke, and owner, Adeyanju Kilani, were taken to court on a twelve-count charge on Friday, September 11th.
