If victims with horrific injuries were forced to deal with the harsh conditions of the broken healthcare system, how would they ever survive?
Several persons lost their lives in this catastrophe as a result of the BRT bus driver’s reckless actions. It’s a horrible shame that people got out of bed in the morning only to pass away because someone didn’t value the value of being careful.
On Thursday, Mr. Fidet Okhiria, the managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), delivered a summary of the briefing he received on the earlier-in-the-day train and bus disaster.
In the Sogunle neighborhood of Lagos, a personnel bus for the Lagos State Government and an NRC train collided on the rail track.
The National Emergency Management Agency reports that two bodies have so far been found at the location and that several other people have been hurt.
Okhiria told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos: “According to the information 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’t know why.
“Maybe the driver thought he could pass before the train got nearer to him. He could not pass, and then the train crushed the bus; that is what we gathered.
