Fire explosion averted as tanker with pms detached on otedola bridge

It sounds like a serious incident was averted!

For those who may not be familiar, Otedola Bridge is a major bridge in Lagos, Nigeria, that connects the mainland to the island. A tanker carrying PMS (Petrolem Motor Spirit, also known as gasoline) had detached from its trailer and was heading towards the bridge, which could have led to a catastrophic fire explosion.

Thankfully, the authorities and emergency responders were quick to respond and averted the disaster. It's a huge relief that no one was injured or worse.

It's a good reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and safety measures in the transportation of hazardous materials. Kudos to the responders and authorities for their swift action!

Can you tell me more about the incident? What happened exactly, and how did the responders manage to avert the disaster?
