LONGMONT, Colo.—Police in Longmont are investigating after a 17-year-old Colorado State University student lost both of her legs while trying to hop aboard a freight train.
Authorities say the unidentified teen slipped underneath the moving train around 1 p.m. on Monday.
One of three males with the student was briefly dragged by the train but suffered only minor injuries.
All four lived in Fort Collins and police say it’s possible they caught a train south and were trying to return home when the accident took place.
Investigators don’t believe drugs or alcohol were involved.
