A collapsed container truck between the FHA Bridge and the ShopRite Pedestrian Bridge along the Lugbe-Airport Road in Abuja has caused a major gridlock on the busy route.<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses reported that the incident occurred around 9 a.m. on Tuesday, forcing outbound vehicles heading towards the airport to divert to the opposite lane, worsening congestion on the expressway.<\/p>\n
Federal Capital Territory Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Muta\u2019a Chorrie, confirmed the incident, noting that FRSC officers were on-site, working to remove the container and alleviate the traffic jam. He clarified that the obstruction was caused by a fallen container, not a tanker, as some earlier reports had claimed.<\/p>\n
“It was just a container that fell on the road. We are making efforts to remove the container and manage the traffic. So, it\u2019s a container that fell on Airport Road today, not a tanker. I haven\u2019t received the full details yet, but when I do, I\u2019ll update you,” Chorrie said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
