The 20-year-old woman, Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, was seriously injured in the Sept. 16 collision. Her attorney, Jonathan Stine, said in an interview Monday that the impact caused her to lose teeth and left her with a broken arm, multiple fractured ribs and injuries to her head and legs. She remained hospitalized Monday, he said.
Rios-Gonzalez was under arrest in a road rage incident and in a Platteville Police Department patrol car when the collision took place. Two Fort Lupton police officers had also responded to the scene and assisted in stopping Rios-Gonzalez in what the department and Colorado Bureau of Investigation have described as a "high-risk vehicle stop."
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation has said the officers were responding to an alleged road rage incident involving a gun along U.S. 85 and County Road 38, just north of Platteville, near Denver. Rios-Gonzalez, a Greeley resident, was detained on suspicion of felony menacing and placed in the back of a Platteville patrol car that was parked on train tracks as the officers searched her car.
"Within a matter of seconds," the Fort Lupton Police Department said, the patrol car was struck by a northbound train.
On Friday, the department released eight minutes of edited video from police body cameras and dash-cam to multiple news outlets, including NBC News affiliate KUSA in Colorado, in response to a record request.
Officers can be heard on the video shouting commands at Rios-Gonzalez, including to put her phone down and put her hands out of the window of the pick-up truck she was in, as at least one gun is pointed at her. Rios-Gonzalez complies and asks the officers what is going on and whether she can please get her cellphone. She also asks a female officer who handcuffs her where she is being taken. The officer responds that she will "explain everything in a second" and says: "We're taking you to the car. Come on." Rios-Gonzalez again asks for her cellphone and the female officer tells her, "We'll get your cellphone in a second."
Another officer asks Rios-Gonzalez, "Who else is in the truck?" to which she replies: "No one else is in the truck, sir. Can I please get my cellphone?" A male officer tells her not to worry about her cellphone. The female officer can be heard asking Rios-Gonzalez whether there are any weapons in her vehicle and she says, "No, ma'am." Rios-Gonzalez continues to question what is going on, adding, "I'm so confused."
The video shows officers then searching the pickup truck to see if anyone else was in it before searching for a weapon.
As the officers searching the truck discussed whether Rios-Gonzalez might have tossed a gun out a window before she pulled over, a train horn could be heard in the distance. One officer shouted an expletive and said, "Oh my God" multiple times. Another officer could be heard yelling, "Stay back!" An officer standing by the patrol car that Rios-Gonzalez was in ran before it was struck by the train.
The video shows the train slam into the patrol car while its front passenger-side door was still open.
