A person riding a scooter was badly hurt when they were involved in an accident with a train operated by the Regional Transportation District in Denver.

Early on a Sunday morning, a Denver resident riding a stand-up scooter was struck by a train and suffered serious injuries, according to a statement from the police department. The incident occurred near the intersection of East 42nd Avenue and North Clayton Street, just south of Interstate 70. Denver officers quickly responded to the reports of the collision around 1 a.m. and arrived at the scene to find the victim in need of urgent medical attention.

The scooter rider, who has not been identified, had collided with the Regional Transportation District's A Line commuter train. Paramedics were called to the scene and transported the injured individual to the hospital for treatment. The severity of their injuries was not immediately known, but they were considered serious enough to require immediate medical care.

As the investigation into the incident began, Denver police warned the public to expect delays in the area and advised caution when traveling through the affected intersection. Additionally, the RTD announced that part of the A Line's service would be suspended until further notice. This decision was made in order to allow for a thorough investigation into the crash and to ensure the safety of commuters.

Meanwhile, other news of crashes and disasters continued to make headlines in the Denver area. Englewood police were searching for the driver responsible for a fatal hit-and-run on Friday, while two people tragically lost their lives in a single-vehicle crash in north Denver. In response to these incidents, Federal Heights announced plans to install traffic and red light cameras in hopes of preventing future tragedies. And in another unfortunate incident, a Denver man died after jumping from a Greyhound bus on U.S. 287.

As for the A Line, which provides transportation between Union Station and Denver International Airport, service was temporarily halted at four of its westernmost stations: Union Station, 38th & Blake Station, 40th & Colorado Station, and Central Park Station. Officials urged commuters to find alternate routes and stay informed about updates on the situation.
