Tragedy Averted: As 300 passengers escape death as train derails


What could have been another national disaster in the country was averted on Wednesday as Over three hundred passengers on Wednesday night escaped death when a 12-coach Lagos-bound train rammed into a Nissan Cabstar pick-up at Odo-Eran, Lafenwa area of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The collision, which occurred at 9am, saved the
train from plunging into a gully created by flood which had washed away part of the rail track.
The flood, which was caused by the heavy rain in the state capital, had swept away the sand under the rail track. The collision also prevented the train from reaching the damaged rail track.
