The city of Fort Lupton and the town of Platteville
have agreed to pay a woman 8.5 million to settle
a lawsuit after she was put in the back of
a patrol car.
And then that car was hit by a train.
We've been covering this story for a while.
This is dash Cam video from September of 2022.
Urini Rios Gonzalez was detained after another driver accused of
flashing a gun, but she's in handcuffs.
When she was in that patrol car, she suffered traumatic
brain injury, several broken bones.
The Platteville officer who placed her in the car was
found guilty of reckless endangerment and assaults, was fired from
her job.
The police chief releasing a statement to us that says
their share of the settlement will be paid by its
insurance carrier.
He goes on to say we apologize to Miss Rios
for what occurred and we remain committed to providing the
best service possible for all who reside, visit and travel
through our community.
We also reached out to Fort Lupton Police, but we
are waiting to hear back since several departments responded to
that scene.
