What would have been another fatal accident, after last Saturday's fatal accident at Mile 2, Lagos was averted at the early hours of Tuesday, February 21.

Just last week Saturday, February 19, a tanker full of Premium Motors Spirit (PMS) poured its contents on the road, which later went up in flames and claimed about three lives.

According to what we gathered from a LASTMA official, a petrol tanker with registration number XM 912 FKJ was about leaving a petrol station at about 1am at Oja bus stop, Egbeda, Lagos, when an on-coming trailer carrying packs of Ribenna swerved into the petrol station in order to avoid a collision with the petrol tanker.

We learnt that the trailer fell and poured its contents on the road and caused a total blockage on one side of the road. The incident has caused a heavy build up in the area.

Officials of LASTMA and police are already taking control of situation in the area.
