The Federal Road Safety Corps has blamed speeding for the tanker crash and fire under the Otedola Bridge on the Lagos Ibadan Expressway. The Lagos Sector Command of the agency put its findings in a statement on the incident. According to the statement, the crash happened at about 4:10 in the evening on Monday. It took place on the outward section of the expressway, the stretch that carries traffic leaving Lagos toward Ibadan. Only one vehicle was involved, a tanker loaded with diesel, and the command classified the event as a lone crash. The tanker went up in flames after the crash, causing alarm at a bridge remembered for earlier tanker disasters. Speed was named as the cause in the command's account of what went wrong.
