Lagos Train-BRT crash survivor says driver refused to wait
A survivor of the train-bus crash in the Shogunle area of Ikeja, Lagos, on March 9, has narrated the events leading up to the accident. The survivor, identified as Titilayo, revealed that they pleaded with the driver to wait for the train to pass, but he refused.

Titilayo spoke to journalists and said, "The incident happened around 7.15am. When we got to the intersection at PWD in Ikeja, the driver continued driving. Passengers inside the bus, including myself, begged him to wait for the train to pass before crossing, but he didn't listen."

She further stated, "Midway, just before he could finish crossing the rail tracks, the accident happened. Many of us were rushed here, while five others were taken to Gbagada General Hospital."

The accident involved a moving train and a Lagos State government staff bus. It left several people injured and caused traffic congestion in the area. The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) responded to the incident and provided emergency medical services to the wounded.

The incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of road users in Lagos, particularly at railway crossings. There have been several accidents at railway crossings, and authorities have been urged to take measures to prevent future incidents.

In response to the incident, the Lagos State government has promised to investigate the cause of the accident and take appropriate action to prevent similar incidents. The government has also called on motorists to be cautious when approaching railway crossings and to comply with traffic regulations.
