December 13, 2017: No fewer than twenty \u00a0vehicles and four commercial motorcycles were burnt on Wednesday when a tanker laden with petrol fell and spilt its content on the Festac Link Bridge in Awuwo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State.<\/span><\/p>\n

A witness, Mr Olufemi Popoola, told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN that the tanker, coming from Apple Junction and going to Festac Town, was ascending the bridge when it suddenly rolled back and fell.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The impact of the fall separated the tank from the truck\u2019s body, resulting in an explosion.<\/p>\n

\u201d Some residents and passers-by attacked the fire with buckets of water to no avail\u201d, Popoola told NAN.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire then spilled into a car shop on the foot of the bridge, burning some of the cars, while the attendants quickly drove out some.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFurniture items, bags and boxes displayed for sale on the foot of the bridge were all burnt\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
