Yareni Rios screamed for help as a freight train came barreling toward her at nearly 48 miles an hour while she was trapped and handcuffed in the back of a patrol car in Weld County, a newly filed lawsuit says.
It's unclear if the three officers nearby, two from the Fort Lupton Police Department and one from the Platteville Police Department, heard her pleas for help before the train slammed into the car forcing it to roll twice and travel about a half a mile before it came to rest in a field.
The lawsuit filed Thursday against those officers, Jordan Steinke, Ryan Thomeczek (both Fort Lupton officers), and Pablo Vasquez (a Platteville officer) accuses them of violating Colorado law by failing to intervene in the unlawful acts of others. It also alleges negligent and reckless behavior by them when they failed to keep Rios safe while in their custody.
Steinke and Vasquez have been charged criminally in the case.
The Town of Platteville and City of Fort Lupton are also named as defendants in the suit.
