Wow

If the bus was filled with people,this would have been a very sad story...
Thank God ooo

Thank God for no loss of life.

What was the bus doing there?
It's difficult to deviate from the road and just enter the train tracks at that point, so the bus driver must have been on the wrong lane in the first place.

You have your gods on speed dial?

This accident happened this morning at Arena Gate Oshodi. Two vehicles were involved in the accident alongside a fast moving train. The first vehicle was a Toyota SUV with two occupants; a father and his son. The father died on the spot when the fast moving train lifted his vehicle and threw it into a gutter whereas the son is still in comma in a hospital around Oshodi. The second Hummer Bus was empty as all the occupants were able to run out of the bus before the fast moving train rammed into the vehicle and dragged it from Arena Gate to the Oshodi bus terminal.
The man that lost his life in the SUV was not so lucky as he could not remove his seat belt so fast before the accident struck. As at 7:20am this morning when I got to the place, his car was still inside the gutter beside the rail track with splashes of blood all over the seat.
I pray his second son currently in comma makes it alive
* The Management of Arena Market Oshodi should investigate this matter as the 2nd gate was still locked when the train was approaching. On sighting the Train approaching, people were beckoning on the security to open the gates to allow the vehicles access to the complex but they were adamant and refused to open the gate until the tragedy struck.
