A shocking incident unfolded in the Iju-Fagba area of Lagos State as a train collided with a Sienna car loaded with bags of rice.
The dramatic moment was captured in a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, December 24, 2024.
The video shows the train hurtling down the tracks as the Sienna, positioned too close to the railway line, becomes an unavoidable target. The impact sent the car skidding off the tracks, leaving the bags of rice it carried scattered around the area.
Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that the driver of the vehicle had attempted to cross the tracks despite the warning signals, a move that proved disastrous. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported, although the condition of the driver and passengers, if any, remains unclear.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances leading to the crash, with potential measures to enhance safety protocols at railway crossings across the state.
