AURORA, Colo. — Newly released video shows the moment when a Regional Transportation District (RTD) light rail derailed in Aurora last week, sending three people to the hospital.
The R Line train derailed Wednesday at the intersection of Exposition Avenue and Sable Boulevard at about 3:45 p.m.
The Aurora Police Department (APD) said paramedics checked out 24 people riding on the train, including three people who were taken to the hospital and expected to be okay.
