According to officials from the Commerce City Police Department, a train collided with an SUV that had broken down on the tracks on Monday night. The incident occurred near the intersection of Colorado 2 and East 88th Avenue. In a post on their Facebook page, the department explained that the driver of the Range Rover had been attempting to move the vehicle out of the way before the train approached.
Fortunately, the driver was able to move away from the tracks before the collision took place and was not harmed. Additionally, the train conductor and engineer were able to slow down the train in time to avoid a more serious accident. The SUV, however, was not as lucky and sustained significant damage from the impact.
The Commerce City Police Department has closed off the area for further investigation into the crash. As of now, it is unclear what caused the SUV to break down on the tracks or why the driver was unable to move it in time. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and being aware of one's surroundings while driving.
