My people, e be like say Lagos traffic no wan gree rest o! Just last night for Oke Gbegun along Ishagamu Road, one big 40-foot container truck don vex over, brake no gree am stop. E go shock you say na around midnight e take happen, and the driver don dey trapped inside like say na movie!
Na the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, wey dem sabi as LASTMA, come jump into action. Dem quickly mobilize their Rescue and Recovery Team, because dem no fit allow driver kpai inside that cabin. Na serious matter o! Dem post am for their X handle say as dem reach there, the truck don carry belle-up and the driver dey inside de cabin like small pikin wey hide for cupboard.
“When we get the call, e no be small wahala, because the truck no be empty container, na fully loaded! But our team sharp well well, dem stabilize the truck and free the driver. Safety na our number one priority,” nai LASTMA yarn.
According to the gist, dem deploy Super Metro 002 recovery truck wey be high-capacity truck, sharp sharp to clear the traffic. Because of this accident, traffic don turn to snail pace, and LASTMA sabi say e no go sweet if dem allow wahala full everywhere. Dem start to divert vehicles as dem dey manage the road.
After one hour wey dem hustle for the scene, dem finally rescue the driver alive! Chai! You need to see the joy on the faces of the crowd wey dey watch the whole kokoroko. Commuters wey dey stuck for early morning traffic heave sigh of relief, say thank God the driver no chop pepper!
LASTMA still dey wait for crane to come lift the container wey don dey block road. In the meantime, dem dey manage the traffic well well to make sure say no be secondary accident happen. Dem also shout out to all the motorist say make dem dey follow road diversion well and no dey drive like say na racetrack!
As at the time when I dey yarn this, dem don recover the flatbed so traffic don dey resume small small. But my people, when you jam Ishagamu Road, remember say wahala fit dey in the front, so follow traffic officers wey dey on ground. Dem no dey play o, na serious work!
