    Three persons have died and many injured when a train hit a commercial bus at Pen Cinema railway crossing in Lagos State on Friday, authorities have confirmed.

    An eyewitness, Mr Raji Oladimeji told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the accident occurred when the bus driver was trying to make U-turn on the rail line.

    “We warned the driver not to make U-turn at that particular point when a train was approaching but he refused.

    “So, it was in the process of making the turn that the approaching train crushed the bus where people hanging on the train fell off and three die instantly while other sustained various injuries,” Oladimeji, an electrician said.

    He said some youths set the bus ablaze in anger while the injured were taken to a nearby hospital.
