Just in: Car falls into river as crashes occur on Ogun bridge

The whole obstruction of Ota-Idiroko Road in the state’s Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area was made known to the driving public on Saturday through a traffic advisory issued by the Federal Road Safety Corps’ Ogun State Sector Command.

It was reported that many collisions on the Iju River Bridge involving a truck, two tricycles, and an automobile were the reason for the traffic jam.

It was reported that the vehicle fell into the river.

While a crane for the rescue operation is being anticipated, FRSC and other security agency operators are reportedly on the ground overseeing the situation.

The spokesperson for the Ogun FRSC Sector Command, Florence Okpe, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists.

Okpe said, “Crash had occurred at Iju Bridge along Otta /Idiroko Road. It involves a truck, two tricycles and a Camry car.

“Otta-Idiroko Road is blocked while the small car is plunged into the river.

“A crane is already mobilised to the scene while effort is also on to remove the car from the river.

“Otta – Idiroko route is completely blocked, operatives are on the ground managing the situation.”
