A trailer carrying a container yesterday fell on a car on Daleko Bridge in Mushin, Lagos, causing panic among motorists and residents.

The incident, which occurred earlier in the day, led to a temporary disruption of traffic on the busy bridge as commuters and bystanders gathered at the scene.

Emergency responders arrived promptly to manage the situation and facilitate the removal of the container and the affected vehicle. No lives were lost in the accident, though the car involved sustained damage.

The cause of the incident has not yet been confirmed, but it adds to growing concerns over the safety of heavy-duty vehicles operating on major roads and bridges across the state.
