Further investigation revealed that the accident occurred as a result of a mechanical fault developed by the oil tanker.” Oke-Osanyintolu said no life was lost in the accident. He added: “However, the agency’s heavy-duty equipment super metro and crane were dispatched for the swift recovery of the trucks. “This was aimed at averting secondary incidents as the accident caused heavy gridlock on the axis.
