Train Killed man listening to music with earphone in Lagos

An unidentified young man with earphone on, was killed by a passenger train at Cappa area of Oshodi, Lagos this morning. The man was standing on the rail track oblivious of the fast approaching train. The Ogun-Lagos-bound mass transit train was leaving its Oshodi station to Mushin when the accident occurred.


The train had as usual, sounded its horn repeatedly as it was approaching the railway crossing at Ilupeju Bye-pass for clearance of its track. According to an eyewitness, the man who had his earphone on was apparently carried away with either the call he was receiving or listening to music. “Obviously the man was not aware of the approaching train even as it blasted its horn, perhaps because of the earphone. “Before he knew it, he was already hit by the train and was not given any chance to escape. “Immediately he was hit, the body was mangled as the train dragged it underneath,’’ the eyewitness said.
