A viral video shared on X.com on Tuesday captured the dramatic moment a train collided with a Sienna car in the Iju-Fagba area of Lagos State. The vehicle was reportedly packed with bags of rice.
As of the time of this report, there have been no confirmed casualties.
This incident brings to mind a tragic collision from a year ago when at least three lives were lost and several others were injured in a crash involving a Lagos State staff bus and a commercial train along Agege Motor Road. Investigations at the time revealed that reckless driving by the BRT bus driver, who attempted to outrun the train at a traffic signal, caused the fatal accident as the train plowed into the bus.
The latest collision serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of caution at railway crossings
