of Oshodi, Lagos. The man was standing on the rail track oblivious of
the fast approaching train. The Ogun-Lagos-bound mass transit train was
leaving its Oshodi station to Mushin when the accident occurred.
The train had as usual, sounded its horn
repeatedly as it was approaching the railway crossing at Ilupeju
Bye-pass for clearance of its traAccording to an eyewitness, the man who
had his earphone on was apparently carried away with either the call he
was receiving or listening to music.
“Obviously the man was not aware of the
approaching train even as it blasted its horn, perhaps because of the
earphone. “Before he knew it, he was already hit by the train and was
not given any chance to escape. “Immediately he was hit, the body was
mangled as the train dragged it underneath,’’ the eyewitness said.
Good for him
