Kwara Fire Service Prevents Disaster After Tanker Collision on Kanbi/Olooru Expressway

Date: 2025-04-16

The Kwara State Fire Service swiftly responded to a road traffic accident involving two articulated trucks and a 45,000-litre diesel tanker (registration T-16758LA) at Shao Junction along the Kanbi/Olooru Expressway.

The collision occurred when the tanker, laden with diesel, crashed into a stationary truck parked roadside. The impact damaged the tanker's compressed air tank and brake lines, causing brake failure. The incident was exacerbated by ongoing roadworks forcing all vehicles onto a single lane, complicating manoeuvres around the obstructing truck.

Fire crews averted a potential inferno by dousing the scene and tanker with water. Security agencies, including the Nigeria Police, NSCDC, FRSC, and KWATMA, collaborated to maintain safety and traffic control.

Through coordinated efforts, the diesel was safely transloaded into an empty tanker (registration number AAA-527YA) using the siphoning method, while security personnel maintained a vigilant presence to ensure safety at the scene.

The Director of the Kwara State Fire Service extended his appreciation to the Nigeria Police, NSCDC, FRSC, and KWATMA for their vital support, which enabled the Fire Service to perform its duties efficiently and without obstruction.
