Residents in the area described the middle aged woman as a popular person who had turned the rail line to her place of abode.
It was gathered that the train, which was coming from the Ilorin/Jebba axis, crushed the woman as she was sleeping close to the rail line. It was gathered that the train crushed the woman’s head and part of her leg. Attempts by passersby to rescue her proved abortive until the state government got involved.
It took the intervention of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Youths, Sports and Special Needs, Mr Biyi Odunlade, who rushed to the scene when he heard about the sad incident and ensured that the woman was attended to by officials of the Osun Free Ambulance Services (O’Ambulance).
The accident victim was taken to the Ladoke Akintola University (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, where she was pronounced dead.
