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.

Situational awareness of some potatoes. More worried about getting a reason to have pulled her over to care enough about a fucking train hitting the police vehicle she's in. To serve...the establishment...and protect...the status quo...

That's your tax dollars at work. To pay for the cops, their emotional care after the incident and the multimillion dollar payout to the lady who will probably live with a painful body for the rest of her life.

Police should all carry their own insurance to pay for this stuff. If they don't make enough money to cover the insurance then they can't be hired.

Seems like a logical fair market solution to this type of idiocy.

Wow. I had heard of this case and I had assumed intentional malice on the part of the police. This footage indicates that it was error in judgement instead.

Having said that, this kind of error in judgement easily rises to the level of criminal negligence and the arresting officer should be imprisoned, and almost every officer on site should be fired.

No reasonable person would ever park an empty car on train tracks, and it is even one step further to have put someone in the vehicle and not moved it immediately off the tracks.
