AURORA, Colo. — After the death of a van driver who rolled over the tracks ahead of RTD's A Line train on Tuesday, police have released video of the crash.
Police said after investigating the crash they believe the driver intentionally drove ahead of the train, which destroyed the van and ended the driver's life.
Crossing guard arms were both flashing and deploying when the van's driver drove past them, and an off-duty officer with the Aurora Police department attempted to stop the van from entering the path of the train.
Four passengers on the train were injured, suffering minor injuries when the collision rocked the train and dragged the van 500 feet down the tracks.
RTD's A Line re-opened a day after the crash.
