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!

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.
