Either the Driver of the bus or the traffic controller working with NRC is at fault. One of them should definitely be punished for put ting human lives at risk. 1 Like |

I understand there is a Premium Times report that the trailer driver had been listening to Eko Ile FM. Apparently the driver took Eko Ile and the ACN propaganda team seriously that clueless Joe has done nothing about trains so the driver was just driving like no man business. Hopefully others who have been listening to the LIES emanating from Eko Ile and co would have learnt their lesson. SMH 1 Like |

This is an avoidable accident and it's alarming that not many commenters are asking the right questions. From the picture its really dark in the background and the brightness there seems to come from the camera flash - why would a railway crossing be left in darkness like that? This was an accident waiting to happen and I'm almost certain there would have been near-misses or actual accidents prior to now. Of course, nobody did anything about it. Last September the exact same thing happened near Oshodi and in October two trains collided in Mushin injuring four. As recently as last month we had another railway accident with news of a derailment at Agege It's a shame that those charged with restoring the railway services think it only means putting trains on the tracks and going to sleep. Why are we just miserably inadequate in doing anything? Even many of the comments we make here are pathetic. 3 Likes |

erayo2GCA: And you don't know why Fashola and other public servants prefer to buy refurbished and painted second hand things as new from abroad even when there is capacity locally |

The railway transport system in Lagos is a big disaster waiting to happen. this is just a warning for those in charge to take proactive steps in ensuring safety on these trains and on the tracks. safety is at its lowest ebb with those trains and the public throws caution to the wind when using this transport. Alot really needs to be done.The other day it was a train derailing and now this. Alot needs to be done and world safety standards must be attained. |

Re: Train And Truck Collide In Lagos by ABEngine(m): 8:29am On Jun 23, 2013 |
I have read very meaningful posts here and read others that make me feel their authors wanna make fun. Its quite a serious matter here, let me not create a gory scene of what this would have been if it were a commerce-bound truck with human and goods aboard, hmmmm. Recklessness on the part of the truck driver is the ONLY reason this incident occurred because trains dont ply routes of choice they are constrained to those tracks of steel. Now Mr. Anonymous truck driver approaching the territory where this locomotives apply should have take appropraite caution, come to a halt and double-check before proceeding. And for some of us who have enjoyed the ABS systems as efficient as BMW's, the system in trains arent similar considering the bulk, acceleration and force required to bring it to rest under the pneumatic braking system- A train ralely comes to a halt within a minute. Motion pictures have turned some people to 007's and their instincts are those of supermans' but I may have to reiterate that caution is the only remedy to forestall such incidents irrespective of what mode of transportation you use. HAPPY SUNDAY, DRIVE CAREFULLY |
