Now, the video footage of the accident that happened on Sunday morning is making rounds online, and has now divided people’s opinions.
Analysing the CCTV footage of the sad event, some people believe it was totally an accident, and have advised the ministry of transport to put up installations to create more awareness to avoid such incidents.
Meanwhile, a section of other people highly believe it might as well have been a successful suicide attempt.
They’re saying;
“All the other people were waiting and the driver just drove into the train’s way?”
“The driver could’ve as well sped off infront to avoid contact with the train that was clearly a few inches away.”

Besides, the video shows that the train had beaming lights as it approached the crossing level, it’s hard to imagine exactly why or how the car driver couldn’t see or hear all that coming.
