Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Managing Director, Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, Mr Fidet Okhiria, on Thursday gave an account of the brief he got on the accident involving a train and a bus earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The NRC train was involved in an accident with a Lagos State Government staff bus on the rail track in Sogunle area of Lagos.<\/p>\n

Two bodies have so far been recovered from the scene, while several others are injured, according to the National Emergency Management Agency.<\/p>\n

Okhiria told NAN in Lagos that, \u201cinformation I gathered at the scene of the incident, they said many cars stopped when they got to the level crossing while the Lagos State Staff Bus driver continued moving, which I don\u2019t know why.<\/p>\n

\u201dMaybe the driver thought he could pass before the train got nearer to him. He could not pass, then the train crushed the bus; that is what we gathered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe train was coming from Ijoko to Iddo.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged Lagos drivers to be more careful when passing through the level crossing, to avoid train accidents.<\/p>\n

The managing director, who was concerned about the lives of the Lagos State staff, appealed to motorists to consider the level crossing at all times.<\/p>\n

Okhiria said that when motorists get to the level crossing, they should not ignore the point where they should stop.<\/p>\n

The Director, Public Affairs and Enlightenment Department, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, Mr Taofiq Adebayo, had said in a statement that a Lagos State Government staff bus was crushed by a moving train at PWD, Ikeja.<\/p>\n

Adebayo said that the staff bus was with registration no 04A- 48LA.<\/p>\n

He said that the enforcement officers of LASTMA were the first emergency responders at the scene of the accident.<\/p>\n

Adebayo said they had called other emergency responders to join in the rescue.<\/p>\n
