By Olasunkanmi Akoni Motorists and other road users are currently trapped in a gridlock at Kara Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway following an accident involving two trucks. Eyewitnesses said the incident, which occurred in the afternoon, led to heavy congestion as only one lane remains open to motorists. As a result, some drivers have resorted to driving against the flow of traffic, creating further gridlock for incoming vehicles. Motorists have been urged to exercise patience and obey traffic officers deployed to the area to minimise disruption.
