Hundreds of commuters and vehicles are trapped on the Michael Otedola Bridge in Lagos as a petrol laden tanker went up in flames.
The fire had spread to the vehicles caught up in the usual evening traffic on the bridge.
Outward bound passengers on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway have been caught up in serious traffic, with the battle to rescue trapped commuters impossible as at press time as the fire raged.
It is feared that many who could not flee are going to be burnt, while several vehicles are already up in flames.
