Motorists and other road users scampered for safety as a petrol tanker caught fire at the Aduloju area along Iwo road/Ojoo end of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Thursday.
Tribune Online gathered that the affected truck fell while trying to manoeuvre its way as well as dodge another truck on the pothole-dotted expressway.
The affected truck fell on one of its sides and caught fire.
The people in the neighbourhood and road users alerted the state fire services in order to avoid the raging fire from being spread to nearby houses.
Confirming the incident to our correspondent, the General Manager of State Fire Services, Revd. Akinyemi Akinyinka, said one tanker caught fire but could not ascertain the level of the casualty.
“Our men are at the scene of the incident now. They are managing the result. They are being assisted by the staff of the BOVAS filling station.
“The details of the incident will be ready tomorrow,” the Fire Services boss told Tribune Online.
