New details emerge in train-car collision that left 26-year-old woman dead in Security-Widefield

1 killed in train in Security-Widefield

One person is dead after a car ran into a train in Security-Widefield Monday afternoon, according to Colorado State Patrol.

Officers responded Monday at 3:29 p.m. to Main Street Crossing located at the Highway 85 and Main Street interchange to find a deceased 26-year-old female from Colorado Springs ejected from a Mitsubishi Outlander, according to Trooper Sherri Mendez.

After investigating, troopers determined the vehicle was traveling westbound on Main Street towards an active train crossing and did not stop when all other traffic was stopped at the posted flashing downed arms.

The CSP said Tuesday that the vehicle ran through the arms and struck the train cars traveling northbound. The car then rotated, the driver was ejected from the vehicle. Based on photographs from the scene, it appears the car was pushed by the collision onto the northeast side of Main Street.

State patrol says no one else was in the vehicle or injured in the crash. 

The Security Fire Department confirmed the department’s first responders did not need to extricate anyone from the vehicle.

The word from bystanders is that the train did not stop following the collision. 

No charges have been issued as of Tuesday morning and the investigation is still ongoing.
