It was a tragic Thursday for residents of Orhuwhorun Community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta state as a passenger train enroute Itakpe-Warri, ran over a woman, and her teenage daughter, as they were walking on the rail tracks.

Eyewitness said the incident happened on Thursday, August 12 at about 3:40 p.m. in the Aragba axis of the community.

The source alleged that the woman, a moi-moi (bean cake) seller and her teenage daughter, were walking on the rail tracks when the incident happened.

The source added that the train, which was heading to the Ujevwu train station in Udu, was scheduled to return to Itakpe in Kogi, later in the evening.

“On hearing the sound of the train, the daughter tried to get her mother out of the tracks, but she was knocked down alongside the mother, while the mother was ran over by the train and the daughter, knocked off the rail tracks,” the source said.
