It added that its personnel were managing traffic in the area to reduce the impact of the crash and restore normal vehicular movement.
“Traffic management efforts are ongoing to mitigate the impact and restore normal vehicular movement,” the agency said.
The fresh crash came as motorists and commuters on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are still grappling with the aftermath of a multiple-vehicle crash at the Kara Bridge on Tuesday, which leaves traffic severely disrupted amid ongoing repair works on the bridge.
The Kara crash, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, involved seven vehicles and initially disrupted movement towards Ogun State, with the resulting gridlock stretching beyond the Long Bridge towards Magboro and into Lagos.
Motorists and commuters have remained trapped in the gridlock for more than 14 hours as the traffic situation worsened throughout the day.
As the congestion intensified, some frustrated motorists resorted to driving against traffic in an attempt to bypass the gridlock, further creating bottlenecks for vehicles heading towards Lagos.
TVC News reported that commuters travelling from Lagos towards Ogun State were already caught in heavy traffic as early as 7am on Tuesday, with the situation worsening as the day progressed.
