A speeding trailer loaded with petrol rammed into three trucks and a Toyota saloon, exploded and caught fire which extended to the others.This caused a major gridlock on the expressway, leaving scores of stranded commuters to start trekking.Officials of the Federal Fire Service were making frantic efforts to put out the fire, as at press time. The number of casualties is however yet to be officially ascertained.See photos below”¦
