"She tried to get the officers' attention, screaming, yelling. They didn't hear her, and that's when the train hit," Wilkinson said.
He added that Gonzales suffered "nine broken ribs, a fractured sternum, a broken leg, a broken arm, multiple missing teeth, back injuries, head injuries. Just everywhere".
