Man’s Leg, Hand Crushed By Train In Lagos by MrSkyNaija(m): 2:59pm On Sep 09, 2016
A yet-to-be identified man, yesterday, narrowly escaped death by the whiskers at Ajayi Farm bus-stop, Ikeja area of Lagos State.

A moving train crushed the victim’s
leg and hand, leaving him almost
dead.

A sympathiser, who witnessed the incident, told reporters at the scene
that the man did not hear the sound
of the train while crossing the rail
way, because of the noise from moving cars along the Oshodi Iyana- Ipaja expressway.

The eyewitness said, “Though the
man tried to escape from the railway, the devil was already there to avert his escape.
“His trousers hooked a protruding iron in the rail which made the train to meet him and crushed one of his legs and one of his hands.
“The man wept profusely and even some women were crying for him.
Many prayed that he survives the tragedy.”

Another eyewitness said, “They were two who tried to cross the railway. One noticed that the train was coming and quickly crossed while the other (the victim) did not and paid dearly for it.
“All efforts he made to escape proved abortive because he was under tension and the rail iron has held his trouser, causing the train to crush his leg and hand. I and other women were crying like babies when we saw the helpless man in the pool of his blood.”

Policemen from the Man Centre police station, who were at the scene, reportedly rushed the victim to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.
