FIVE people narrowly
escaped death last night
after a train ran into a
truck laden with laterite at
the PWD railway crossing,
opposite the Nigerian Air
Force Base in Ikeja, Lagos.
According to eyewitnesses,
the driver of the truck, with
registration
number LAGOS
XY 288 JJJ, attempted to
play smart by crossing the
railway line, but failed to
make it before the speeding
train
rammed into it.
Eyewitnesses disclosed that the
accident caused serious
commotion as thousands of
passengers, some of who
were sitting on the roof of
the train scrambled for
safety. Though no life was
lost in the accident, but five
unlucky
passengers, who
were left critically injured,
were rushed to nearby
hospital where doctors are
presently battling to save
their lives. The accident,
which happened at about
7:30pm last night, led to
serious traffic gridlock
along the Agege Motor
road, as the train, said to
be coming from Ebutte-
Metta and heading for
Agbado, had to terminate
its journey, leaving of its
passengers stranded.

Because of the campaign of hate by Tinubu's warriors, people tend to under-estimate the speed of the trains. Trains travelling at 50-60km per hour is no joke.

Anyway, I wish the injured quick recovery. I also hope the management of the Nigerian Railway will take more precautionary safety measures
