Accident: Passenger Bus runs into Commuter Train in Lagos
By Dayo Badmus,
A passenger laden Toyota bus ran into a moving commuter train late Tuesday in Lagos at Ilupeju Bye-pass area of Lagos State.
The Toyota Hiace bus with registration number EKY 888 XW and the train had a collision.
The cause of the incident according to eye witness was due to the reckless driving by the bus driver.
Information gathered at the scene revealed that all vehicles were stopped at the railway crossing, but the driver refused to obey the traffic officers at the scene, thereby ramming into the moving train.
Fortunately, there was no loss of lives. Two male adults sustained injuries and were administered first aid treatment by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) paramedics before being transferred to a public medical facility for further medical attention.
The bus was subsequently recovered off the railway with the aid of the LASEMA’s light tow-truck and was taken to Railway Police Station, Mushin.
Other responders at the scene were the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officers and Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corps.
