An eye witness said:
“As the train was fast approaching, several shouts and alerts by the passers by to the three occupants inside the Toyota Camry car to drive away from the railway line failed as they could not hear what the people were saying.“Consequently, the oncoming train heavily crushed the car with the occupants, causing commotion and pandemonium in the area.”
The remains of the victims were immediately taken to University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital as at press time.
