Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed the incident.
In a statement on Monday, the agency said one of the vehicles involved in the crash caught fire, causing serious traffic disruption around Road 14 on Admiralty Way.
Videos circulating online show a vehicle engulfed in flames, while two other SUVs involved in the crash were left badly damaged.

“Traffic is seriously affected as vehicles are being diverted to Road 14 to connect Durosimi Etti Road,” the agency said.
The agency said it is awaiting the arrival of police force and firefighters.

The agency also said traffic counterflow was temporarily adopted to allow motorists reconnect to Admiralty Roundabout as officers continued efforts to restore normal traffic flow. (The Nation)
