Police Cuff Woman On Tracks And Abandon Her- Hit By A Train

Fort Lupton, Colorado — Newly released video shows the moment a freight train struck a police patrol vehicle with a 20-year-old woman handcuffed in the back seat. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, a Platteville police officer pulled over Maria Rios-Gonzalez in Weld County, near Highway 85 and County Road 38, after an alleged road rage incident involving a gun. Two Fort Lupton police officers later arrived at the scene and placed the Rios-Gonzalez in the back of the Platteville officer’s car, which was illegally parked on railroad tracks.

While the three officers were searching Rios-Gonzalez’s pickup truck, a train horn can be heard blaring, but officers ignore it. As it gets closer one of the officers realizes the car is on the tracks and begins yelling, but no one moves to remove Rios-Gonzalez from harm’s way, and she is hit by the speeding train.

Amazingly she survived, CBI said Rios-Gonzalez suffered “serious bodily injuries,” including multiple broken ribs and a fractured sternum.
