Idiots everywhere.
Who hired these idiot cops?
Two cops are placed in the freezer after they arrested a 20-year old woman who ended up being a victim of a train collision. One of the idiot cops parked his vehicle on railroad tracks and obviously a high speed Union Pacific freight train going at 85 mph slams into the cruiser.
The victim, Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20 was seriously injured when she was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of the cruiser. The train directly impacted hit the area where she was.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation says Rios-Gonzalez, of Greeley, remained hospitalized Monday with serious bodily injuries sustained in the crash. She is expected to survive.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to a report of a road rage incident involving a firearm in Fort Lupton on Friday evening. A Platteville police officer stopped Rios-Gonzalez's car just past a set of railroad tracks and parked the patrol vehicle on the crossing.

"Officers cleared the suspect vehicle to determine if anyone else was in the vehicle," the Fort Lupton Police Department said in a statement. "Within a matter of seconds, the Platteville's police vehicle, which contained the female detainee, was struck by a northbound train. Fort Lupton Officers immediately summoned medical assistance and began life sustaining measures."
Colorado authorities and Union Pacific Police are determining whether the cop was reckless in his decision to leave his vehicle on the tracks.
The Denver Post reported Monday that the Platteville Police Department had placed one of the officers involved on paid administrative leave. Police Chief Carl Dwyer, in an email to the newspaper, didn't disclose the officer's name and declined to answer other questions about the traffic stop and crash.
The Fort Lupton Police Department is investigating the road rage report, while the Colorado State Patrol is investigating the crash. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is looking into the woman's injury while she was in police custody.
