The emergency service providers’ victims were rescued and sent to the Lagos State university teaching hospital in Ikeja; however, the emergency department at the hospital did not have any available beds for them. They were put on a board outdoors and given medical attention in an effort to preserve their lives.
Very literally, victims are being deposited outside of LASUTH!
Victims who are horribly injured, how would they even survive it if they were confronted with the tough conditions of the crippled health care System?
As a result of the irresponsible behaviour of the BRT Bus driver, many people were killed in this tragedy. It’s a terrible shame that individuals got up in the morning just to lose their lives because someone didn’t respect the importance of being diligent.
The Managing Director, of Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Mr Fidet Okhiria, on Thursday, gave an account of the brief he got on the accident involving a train and a bus earlier in the day.
The NRC train was involved in an accident with a Lagos State Government staff bus on the rail track in the Sogunle area of Lagos.
Two bodies have so far been recovered from the scene, while several others are injured, according to the National Emergency Management Agency
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.
