A female Cop train video was released by Authorities in Colorado that captures the moment a freight train collided with a police patrol car that was parked on the tracks and had a handcuffed passenger inside.

Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20, was injured in the incident on September 16 when Platteville and Fort Lupton police officers searched her pickup truck for weapons. 

The incident was captured, which the Platteville and Fort Lupton police departments jointly released on Friday.

The police were responding to a complaint of a shooting-related road rage altercation in Fort Lupton. The patrol car was positioned on top of the railroad lines after a Platteville policeman stopped Rios-truck Gonzalez’s close to them.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation claims that the traffic stop was a high risk since Rios-Gonzalez was detained on the grounds of felony menacing. She was then placed in the back of a patrol cruiser that arrived on the scene.

The video footage

A train’s horn is audible in the distance as officers search the pickup vehicle and the surrounding area for weapons in an online sample of body camera and dashboard camera footage. 

It takes the police at least 15 seconds to recognize that a Union Pacific train is approaching. One of the officers yells and instructs his colleague to “keep back” as soon as he realizes that the train is drawing near the patrol vehicle.

Then, when the train rammed into the car and pushed it several yards down the tracks, an officer is seen spinning around repeatedly close to the patrol car before eventually retreating for shelter.

By the time Rios-Gonzalez arrived at the hospital, she was unconscious, according to her attorney Paul Wilkinson. 

She received several injuries, including a broken arm that required surgery, nine broken ribs, a shattered sternum, and a wound to her back and head.

Wilkinson says, “She saw it coming and could hear the horn”. She shouted at the police officers in an effort to catch their attention and attempted to open the door, and she also tried to unlock the door while holding her hands behind her back.

Officers “checked the suspicious car to determine if anyone else was in the vehicle,” the Fort Lupton police department said in a statement. 

A northbound train struck the Platteville police car carrying the female inmate in a couple of seconds. Officers from Fort Lupton started performing life-sustaining procedures right away.

The Platteville Police Department reportedly put one of the involved officers on paid administrative leave, according to a Denver Post article. 

The police chief, Carl Dwyer, declined to provide additional information about the traffic stop and crash in a statement to the newspaper and omitted the officer’s identity.

Three organizations are looking into the incident: the Colorado State Patrol is looking into the crash, the Fort Lupton Police Department is looking into the road rage report, and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is looking into the injuries Rios-Gonzalez sustained while in police custody.
