TRAIN CRUSH WOMAN IN LAGOS

Moving Train

it was a black morning at Oshodi this morning as a middle-aged woman was hit and killed by a passenger train when she was trying to avoid a puddle of water beside the rail tracks. An eyewitness said that the unidentified woman was walking along the tracks when the incident happened.

The woman was trying to avoid muddy water along the tracks when the Ijoko-Apapa passenger’s train crushed her to death. The woman instead of jumping into the muddy water was trying to avoid it and the fast moving train dragged her under.

it was a terible sight as the train dragged her underneath and it was so fast for comprehension. In fact, her blood splintered on some passers-by who were waiting patiently along the tracks for the fast moving train to pass before moving.

Worst still, the train did not stop but dragged her body for about one kilometer thereby mutilating the body,” the witness said.
