TheCable is yet to ascertain if there are casualties from the accident.
This is the third accident involving container-laden trucks in Lagos state within the past four days.
On Sunday, nine persons lost their lives when a container-laden truck fell on a commercial bus on the Ojuelegba bridge.
On Monday, a 40-feet container-laden truck fell on the road along the Dopemu area of the state.
Reacting to the Ojuelegba accident, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, said the state government is working with the federal ministry of works and housing to install vehicle/truck barriers on the inward and outward sections of the bridge.
The governor also said the truck owner and driver would be prosecuted by the state.
