As police cleared the woman's car from the scene, a train barreled through the cruiser -- with her in the back seat.

A 20-year-old woman has been hospitalized with "serious bodily injuries" after the police patrol car she was placed in was struck by a train.

 

Per the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, the incident went down in Fort Lupton, Colorado on Friday, September 16 -- after officers responded to a call about an alleged road rage incident involving a firearm. They located the vehicle and made a traffic stop "just past" railroad tracks, with police pulling behind the car on the tracks themselves.

I suppose it makes a change from the cops just shooting her.

Bam, just like that!

 

Seven puns leapt into my head about this woman being "railroaded.".............

They probably thought it was a bullet train, save themselves a bit on ammo…
