Commuters along the Kubwa Expressway in the Federal Capital Territory are facing delays on Monday morning following the fall of a trailer that blocked a major portion of the road, the Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed. FCT Sector Commander, Felix Theman, explained that the incident has caused a gridlock due to the partial blockade of the expressway. “There’s currently a gridlock because there’s no free flow of traffic, as a section of the expressway has been blocked by the fallen trailer. However, our officers are fully on ground, ensuring that motorists use the available service lane and the one or two lanes that are still accessible on the express,” he said. The man emphasised the need for patience and discipline among road users to prevent the situation from worsening. “It’s crucial that drivers exercise patience and cooperate with the officers on ground. Indiscipline, impatience, and lack of cooperation could compound the current traffic situation,” he added. He also confirmed that efforts are underway to clear the obstruction, stating that the relevant towing services have been contacted. “We’ve engaged the relevant towing company, Debasid, and their tow truck is already on its way to the scene. In no time, we hope to remove the trailer and restore normal traffic flow,” the sector commander noted. When asked if the fallen trailer was the result of an accident, the sector commander confirmed, “Yes, it was a crash involving the trailer. One of the tyres pulled out. It fell and is currently lying across the road. Fortunately, there were no fatalities—just minor injuries.”
