5 Critically Injured as Train And A Truck Collide in Lagos.

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.
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 fate of the injured passengers was uncertain as at the time of this post.
We wish them a speedy recovery, Amen!

Bros whose fault is it?, you read that the truck driver try to outsmart and tragedy occurred, first you can't compared countries like you have mentioned with Nigeria those countries are well mannered and behaved and they are illiterate and knows the traffic rules and regulations,believe even if Nigeria government build all that you have mentioned there are still some drivers in Nigeria that are animal and useless reckless drivers that will ignore it and wanna try to outsmart the signs,...and later on if a tragedy occur we blame it on the government...it's is lack of just 10 minutes patient that gat him into this mess and he almost killed innocent people

nice objective assessment. we should stop blaming govt for all the ills
in the society. Too many Nigerian drivers are ignorant, reckless and have no regard for rules.
people should learn to use common sense in these situations.
