Another eyewitness, Kunle Ajibade, told Sunday Tribune that, “a traffic jam had developed along the railway, making many of the motorists to be stranded. At a point, it was obvious that many of them had almost forgotten that they were parked along the railway. 
“As though woken up from slumber, the train came on sight honking so loudly. Many of the motorists still caught in the jam began to drive in haste. It was a chaos that could not be immediately managed. The train had got so close that only very few buses and cars were able to escape. Many others later found their way. But a car was trapped by the train and it was impossible for those in it to escape.”
