Tragedy struck in the early hours of Monday when a private vehicle plunged off the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, with four passengers on board.
According to reports, the occupants of the car sustained various degrees of injuries while the driver miraculously survived.
In a post on its X page on Monday, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) said only the driver was rescued and taken to hospital.
“Report of an accident of a car that fell from Otedola Bridge. The driver has been rescued and taken to the nearby hospital,” the post reads.
“There is backlog from Otedola Bridge to Berger inward Secretariat, but our officers are on scene managing the situation effectively.
“Other officers are also on ground doing the needful.”
The incident is coming weeks after a gas-laden tanker keeled over under the bridge, sparking an explosion that killed two and injured six.
The fire outbreak affected nearby structures, including a church, a residential house, and a mechanic yard, causing significant damage in the surrounding area.
