A woman fleeing officers in Woods Cross, Utah, drove her car into one train and was struck by another Sunday. Miraculously, she suffered only minor injuries and a broken arm.
At about 8:20 a.m., police responded to an unwanted guest disturbance call at 2300 South and Redwood Road.
“Our complainant gave a vehicle description of someone that was involved,” Det. Adam Osoro of the Woods Cross Police Department told Fox 13 . “At that time, one of our patrolmen spotted the vehicle and attempted to stop it on Redwood Road.”
The woman didn’t pull over and a chase began. It ended when she drove her Mercedes into a train at a railroad crossing.
“There was already a southbound train going across 2600 south, and she hit that train while it was crossing,” Osoro said. “While officers were still trying to get her out of her car, a second southbound train hit her vehicle.”
Police said the woman faces charges for evading arrest and additional charges, including a possible DUI, are being investigated.
