No fewer than four people were feared dead on Sunday as three petroleum tankers and an articulated truck exploded on Kara Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Tanker explosions and truck accidents are a recurrent feature on the expressway and in other parts of the Lagos metropolis.
The explosion occurred around 12:30am following the collision of two tankers laden with premium motor spirit (petrol) and gas on the outward Lagos lane.
The fire that followed the collision extended to another tanker and a trailer, which also exploded.
