There is a traffic gridlock at the Jobele axis of the Ibadan-Oyo expressway caused by a trailer accident.

The auto crash occurred yesterday evening when a containerized trailer reportedly lost its brake and somersaulted at the Jobele bus stop.

Some passengers in a commercial bus narrowly escaped death while some children hawking fruits at the bus stop sustained serious injuries, leaving the scene littered with their wares.

It was gathered that men of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Atiba Unit assisted in evacuating those injured and ensuring free flow of traffic.

Radio Nigeria correspondent, who visited the scene this morning reports that the trailer was still lying on its right side, blocking the expressway as well as one of the roads linking it with the Afijio Local Government secretariat.

Motorists called for quick removal of the vehicle to avert another road mishap in the area and urged the government to ensure that only trailers certified as roadworthy ply the roads.
