PLATTEVILLE, Colo. (KMGH) – A freight train collided into a police cruiser parked on train tracks with a woman trapped inside.

Locked inside the cruiser was 20-year-old Yareni Rios-Gonzalez. Police detained her for an alleged road rage incident earlier in the night

Yep. Bad apples in every barrel, unfortunately.

EWWWWWWW what kind of skin disease does that cop have on his left arm??? EWWWWWWW disgusting.

[Churchillspirit]

Hard to believe a cop could be so stupid.

So why in the hell was the cop car parked on the RR tracks?🤔

[BiteYourSelf]

They already have, see posts 25 and 30.🙄

[BiteYourSelf]

Ditch diggers.🙄

[BiteYourSelf]

Training won’t do any good if they don’t have enough brains in the first place.🙄

[FLT-bird]

She or her family are going to be very rich after the lawsuit.

[BiteYourSelf]

“Those cops should be fired, prosecuted, and jailed.”
They should be,but they won’t.🙄

[BiteYourSelf]

Abby normal would be an improvement.🙄

[BiteYourSelf]

Throw down I suspect.🤔

WTH, don’t they teach people not to park on train tracks anymore?

That course is taught by Captain Obvious. Because he can only teach so much they might have missed it.

She had been pursued on the highway by the cops then pulled off onto that abandoned narrow road and stopped.

Safer there than on the major highway in the background.....
= = =

So how safe was the cop sitting on the tracks?

That is my point.

Reading comprehension has gone to shit in this forum.

[ZinGirl]

Agreed. Depending on her injuries, I doubt there will ever be a day she wouldn’t trade a sh*tton of money for her healthy 20-year-old body back. Twenty is so young.

ALSO, I can’t help but think the emotional trauma seeing a train coming and know there is nothing you can do. She may have nightmares for a loooong time…and inwardly cower when she hears a train whistle blow.

Was the officer's name Snidely Whiplash?

[DannyTN]

I’m thinking that’s negligent homicide at best.

Getting fired will be the least of his problems.

“I can park anywhere I want with my lights on. Everyone has to slow or stop for me. I rule the road. My activity trumps all.”

Physics doesn't bow to your authority, tax collector.

[zeugma]

And I hope she does, too. Though I'm sure some boot lickers will come in here and say she deserved it.

There have already been a few who are blaming it on the alleged 'road rager'. Cops are never at fault no matter how egregious their misconduct or stupidity.
