Raji told PUNCH Metro that the accident affected a Toyota Camry with number plate AAA716DZ behind the vehicle as it swerved into a ditch by the roadside.

He said, “The Opel car was driving inward Lagos and was loaded with bags of cassava when its tyre burst due to speeding. It lost control and tumbled twice. The two occupants, including the driver, came out unhurt while the cassava spilt on the road. A Toyota Camry that was coming behind while trying not to ram into the car swerved and also lost control before plunging into a ditch.”
