A close call for a Lagos driver on October 9, 2026, as he miraculously escaped injury when a train collided with his car at an unspecified location in Lagos. According to reports from Nigeria Lagos on Google News, the 55-year-old driver, whose identity remains undisclosed, was unscathed following the collision. The incident occurred at around 8:39 am local time. The Whistler Newspaper also reported the incident, noting that the driver escaped unhurt. However, the cause of the accident and the specific location are yet to be disclosed. The Nigerian Railway Corporation has not commented on the incident, nor have they disclosed when the facility began operating. This collision highlights the need for improved safety measures at train crossings in Lagos. A similar incident occurred in Abuja earlier this week, where inDrive, a ride-hailing company, announced a N132 million driver rewards campaign across Abuja and Lagos, citing safety as a priority (Independent Newspaper Nigeria, October 8, 2026).
