A female member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, was yesterday, crushed by a train in the Ikeja axis of Lagos State.

Efforts by some eyewitnesses to call her attention to the oncoming train proved abortive as she was seemingly neck-deep in her phone.

She was reportedly rushed to a hospital but unfortunately, she gave up the ghost.

An eyewitness who spoke under the condition of anonymity said: “The train was not moving at a high speed. People tried to call her attention to the oncoming train but she didn’t yield to the call as she continued pressing her mobile phone. 

“I was looking at her from where I stood and saw her with an earpiece plugged into her ears which made her unable to hear the sound of the oncoming train.

"Many passers-by tried to pull her out of the rail line but she ran towards the moving train which crushed parts of her body.”

This is not the first time such incident will be recorded. Some time ago, a girl got crushed to death while she was posing at the railway with her boyfriend who luckily survived the crash and was hospitalized.

Meanwhile, experts have warned that taking selfies could cause one epileptic fits.
