Stomper Angela shared videos of the road taken from a car at 11am.

The videos show that one of the two lanes was closed, causing a traffic jam. Police were at the scene and workers appeared to be washing the road.

Angela told Stomp that an electronic signboard on the expressway had informed motorists that there was an oil spillage.

She was unaware at the time that an accident had happened.
