Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Seventy-four (74) were injured while six people were killed on Thursday when a train collided with a bus in Nigeria\u2019s commercial capital Lagos.<\/p>\n

The bus driver apparently tried to beat a warning signal before the approaching train slammed into the vehicle, AFP reported citing the Lagos State Emergency Rescue Agency (LASEMA).<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Farinloye of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) told AFP that some of the injured people were in critical condition. He said:<\/p>\n

The death toll is now six \u2014 four females and two males.<\/p>\n

The death toll might rise further because a lot of people are in critical condition in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Farinloye said emergency workers struggled for hours before they could rescue people trapped in the wreckage of the bus, which was left mangled at the front of the train.<\/p>\n

The train was travelling from Ijoko in nearby Ogun state and heading to the Ebute-Meta area in Lagos.<\/p>\n

LASEMA blamed the bus driver\u2019s \u201creckless driving\u201d accusing the driver of trying to scoot across the line in defiance of a signal warning of an approaching train.<\/p>\n

The agency said in a statement the wreckage of the bus and the train had been removed.<\/p>\n

Accidents are common on Nigeria\u2019s poorly maintained roads as a result of speeding, reckless driving and disregarding traffic rules.<\/p>\n
