WATCH: Dramatic bodycam footage shows train hitting occupied police car in Colorado

A Colorado woman, arrested on Friday, September 16, 2022, sustained serious injuries after the patrol car she was placed in was hit by a train in Weld county. Bodycam footage released by the Fort Lupton Police Department showed the moment the train hit the car.

The footage obtained by CBS News showed eight minutes of edited video from the incident, where officers were seen talking outside a car when a train came barreling down the tracks and hit a patrol vehicle parked on the crossing near US85 and County Rd. 36, north of Platteville, Colorado.

According to the Denver Post, the woman, identified as Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20, was arrested after multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a road rage incident involving a firearm in Fort Lupton, Colorado.

In a press release, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation stated that a Platteville officer in the area located the vehicle and stopped it just beyond the railway tracks. Officers parked the patrol car on the crossing behind the suspect’s vehicle.

The officers then handcuffed the woman and placed her in the backseat of the police car. At the time of the incident, the Denver Post reported that Platteville officers were reportedly searching the woman's car for weapons.
