vehicle and assist corporal decarlo, you know that there was a train horn. i initially associated that horn with the train that she had already hit. but the noise is getting louder. and i just happened to look back to the north. and there was a train that was right on top of us. while i was engaging with the suspect the train to the left of me is still passing by. i never thought or knew another train was barreling down the tracks behind us. lieutenant benson tries to get officer decarlo s attention. i yelled at him two or three times. it was hard for him to hear me over the train horn. and i saw his hand gestures which i wasn t sure what he s saying. he was speaking. with the noise of the train, i couldn t understand what he was saying to me. i then observed out of the corner of my eye another train coming up behind me. by the time he sees the speeding locomotive, it is right on top of him. when i realize the train was coming up behind me, i didn t have time to even ha
injured. police are concerned that the suspect, if alive, could be armed and dangerous. officer decarlo approaches with caution. we don t know if she s got weapons of any type. i approached her with my handgun drawn. i was unable to see or hear anything from the vehicle, obviously there s a moving train to the left of me. i had to break the back passenger window using my baton so i can get a visual. the tint was so dark on the car, i couldn t see. officer decarlo breaks the back window and is able to speak with the woman. the suspect is alive and unarmed. but trapped, trying to free herself from the twisted sedan. she was obviously in excruciating pain. her body was quite contorted in the vehicle. so just for my visual i thought she sustained horrible trauma. i asked her if she can get out the passenger door. she said she wasn t sure. a few seconds later, lieutenant benson approaches the car. as i m trying to get to the
watch again as officer decarlo gets out of the way right before the yellow locomotive slams into the car. with the woman still inside. i m watching the train it seemed like in slow motion push this car like a toy down the track. as a police officer, we re there to help people. regardless if they ve done something good or bad, i m still there to make sure she s okay. so i felt kind of helpless once the other train hit her. hearing that combination of the horn and the brakes on the train squeaking and the metal being crushed, basically my heart stopped. because i was convinced that we was going to find her dead. the train slows as the emergency brakes kick in. and when officer decarlo heads down the track, he is shocked by what he finds. to see that she was still alive was a miracle, to be honest with you. i thought by the second time that there s no way that a person could sustain these two
disturbance. dispatch advised that the suspect was a female and that she was attempting to leave the residence in a black mercedes. benson radios for backup units and officer t.j. decarlo of the neighboring north salt lake police department is dispatched to the scene. i remained in my vehicle waiting for the vehicle to pass by so i can actually get involved in the pursuit. the black mercedes flies by officer decarlo towards an oncoming train. and i was shocked, to be honest with you. seeing a train that was on the tracks halfway through its cycle and her speed was so great. i knew there was no way she could stop. she s going to hit a train! she just hit the train, the train hit her. i was totally in disbelief. i couldn t believe that a normal person would drive towards a moving train and not attempt to stop or slow down. when i come up over that first set of tracks and seen her car sitting on the other side of the tracks, i figured that she was either fatal or seriously
horrible collisions and walk away. she s very, very lucky to be alive. and so is officer decarlo. teamwork in law enforcement is key. lieutenant benson works for the woods cross police department, i work for the north salt lake police department. but regardless what agency we work for, we re partners for each other and we look out for each other. and end of the day, we want to make sure we all get home to our families. coming up a gun battle. at 100 miles an hour. i knew that it only ended two ways. one, he d wreck out and survive, or two, he d be shot and killed. when caught on camera: dash cam diaries continues. if you re looking for a car that drives you. .and takes the wheel right from your very hands.
