running back De’Angelo Henderson said he’s grateful to be alive after a rollover crash in Parker this past weekend.
Josh Hans, a spokesman for the Parker Police Department, said the three-car crash occurred Saturday at 8:20 p.m. at the corner of Jordan Road and Carlson Drive in Parker when police were chasing a stolen vehicle. Police were pursuing a suspect named Rainbow Sunset Espinoza, 36, at the time of the crash.
The 18th Judicial District said Espinoza was arrested on eight felony charges, two misdemeanor charges and four traffic violations stemming from the chase. Parker police said the chase originated in Denver. Espinoza was arrested on three counts of second-degree assault, two counts of vehicular eluding, one count of criminal mischief, one count of motor vehicle theft and one count of possessing burglary tools. All are felonies.
She also faces misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and driving after revocation prohibited. In addition, Espinoza faces charges of reckless driving, failure to stop at a red light, failure to display headlights and unlawful display of license plates.
Espinoza was advised of the charges on Monday and remains in custody. Formal charges have not yet been filed.

Through his Instagram account, Henderson said it was “the most traumatic event I’ve probably ever had to deal with.” He said his vehicle was “T-boned, airborne, flipped and rolled.”
Despite the ordeal, Henderson said he escaped with “only minor injuries and a few scrapes and bruises.” He was transported to a hospital following the crash.
“We’re thankful that Broncos RB De’Angelo Henderson sustained only minor injuries as one of several accident victims when a car collided with his jeep Saturday,” Patrick Smyth, the Broncos executive vice president of public and community relations, tweeted Monday.
Smyth said Henderson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Henderson was back at the team’s Dove Valley headquarters on Monday and was treated for minor bumps and bruises.
Henderson said he is rehabbing and trying to get ready for organized team activities (OTAs) next week.
Henderson last season appeared in five games, rushing seven times for 13 yards. He also caught two passes for 36 yards and a touchdown.
