It was a great distress for Motorists and commuters as they were stranded for hours yesterday following the collapse of a popular road linking Ilawe-Ekiti to Ado-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
The Ado-Ilawe road had been alternative access route to commuters due to the deplorable condition of Akure/Ado Road, collapsed on Tuesday evening following a downpour.
The situation led to motorists and commuters stranded, particularly farmers,travellers who ply the route on a daily basis and cut off communities such as Ilawe-Ekiti, Igbara Odo and Ogotun-Ekiti from other part of the state.
People coming into Ilawe-Ekiti from Ado-Ekiti and those travelling out of the ancient community were trapped with their vehicles stagnant as a result of the incident.
The unfortunate incident led some of the travellers to resort to trekking with their luggage to cross to the end of the bridge, was still the same as at yesterday afternoon.
