Girl Loses Legs

(Denver, Colorado) No names reported yet in an incident involving significant injury.

A 17-year-old Colorado State University student's legs were severed at the knees Monday when she fell under a freight train while trying to hop aboard, officials say.

A man with her was briefly dragged by the train and sustained minor injuries, said Cmdr. Jeff Satur, Longmont police spokesman.

The girl was taken to Longmont United Hospital by ambulance following the 1:03 p.m. accident and then flown by helicopter to Denver Health Medical Center.[…]

The girl and three male companions, ranging in age from 17 to 25, were attempting to jump aboard the moving northbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train when the accident happened, he said.

Three males emerged relatively unscathed while the girl loses her legs. I'll make a wild guess that she wasn't the leader.
