Colorado Teen Dead After Jumping From Front Seat Into Oncoming Traffic While Riding With Her Mother

Colorado Teen Dead After Jumping into Oncoming Traffic as She Was Driving With Her Mother

Friends and family of 17-year-old Catrina Fox are stunned by the Colorado teen’s death, after she jumped from a moving car to oncoming traffic on U.S. 285 at about 1 a.m. Saturday.

The Associated Press reports that police in Denver say that the teenage girl was hit and killed by an oncoming vehicle after she exited a car being driven by her mother. She was hit by a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser being driven by another teen, a 17-year-old boy, who police say that they do not plan to file charges against. The boy was uninjured.

The Denver Post reports that Fox had just earned her GED certificate and had plans of moving to California.

“I think she was dealing with a lot of demons,” her friend Kayla Lucero, 18, told the Post Saturday. “She went over the edge with her emotions.”

“I’ve never seen anything like that. She just got hit at full speed. It was horrific,” said The Post’s photo editor Dean Krakel. Krakel was driving home from work behind the car that hit the girl, but didn’t see the accident happen, only witnessing something in the middle lane of the highway before swerving right to barely avoid hitting it. Krakel told The Post that the the girl’s mother collapsed on the roadway as he was talking to her following the accident.

No reasons have been given for why Catrina jumped out of the car, though The Daily Mail notes that police have said that they do not believe alcohol or drugs were a factor. Her mother told investigators that the girl kicked out the door and jumped out of the moving car.

9News.com reports on the tragic death and its effect on Fox’s community:

      There but for the grace of God go I. My daughter was saved by a belt loop on her jeans. As she opened the door to jump, I reached for something, anything to pull her back into the car. My index finger happened to go through the loop. I drove her straight to Children’s Hospital. Yes, she was a troubled girl. Yes, she was from a broken home. 16 years ago that happened. I can close my eyes and live it like it just happened and the terror of it all comes back full force. My heart and prayers goes out to the mother.

      I’m sorry, but this is not a tragedy. It’s very sad for this woman and those who knew the girl, but please, stop wasting words like “tragedy” on things that are simply sad.

      Do you remember after 9-11, when the media didn’t even have words to describe the horror? That’s because of the sensationalizations like calling THIS a tragedy. No, the Titanic was a tragedy, Katrina was a tragedy, this was a troubled girl ending her own life. Sad, depressing, but not a tragedy…

      It is a sad state of affairs that many our our younger folks are raised in, and live in.

      Americans put away that old fashioned Bible, they listend to Dr Spock, Dewey, and the other egg heads. MTV took the place of Sunday School. Kids are bombarded with sex at a very young age. Walk through the local mall, and see the little fourteen and fifteen year old girls dressed like Brittany Spears, with that cold hard look on their faces.

      In 62 we took the prayer and creation out of public education, and the next year the school violence started to climb. By the mid seventies it was out of control. With the rock music, new wave TV where the parents are always out of touch, kids embraced the humanism (if it feels good do it).

      America is in a bad place, and I do not see her coming back from it any time soon

      I’m sorry, I think you misunderstood me. The animals who demanded that Mother Government come rescue them were in no way included in my assessment.

      The hospital filled with elderly patients who could NOT self evacuate, and who were literally abandoned by the staff who were supposed to be caring for them are more representative of the tragedy I was referring to.

      The people whose homes and rights were violated by the police and military contractors who stole their guns and left them unable to protect themselves is as well.

      The filth who refused to leave their free housing until a free bus came to take them to their new free living arrangements? I‘m sorry they ALL didn’t drown or wipe one another out.

      Why would the 17 year old want to go to California? To go to Hollywood.
      I commend her on her ambition especially in getting the ground work done such as getting her GED.
      Apparently her parents did not want her to leave to go to Hollywood at 17. She was head strong & jumped.

      Where would she learn that jumping form a moving car was survivable most of the time? Hollywood movies.

      Both girls have hearings in March and April this year on charges of grand theft, possession of controlled substances with intent to sell, and prostitution
      And they giggle about it!
      More then likely the charges will be reduced because they’re, “Too pretty for jail”

      @urbancombatsurvivor are you saying that the number of those who die are what determines what is a tragedy and what isn’t? Only at a certain number does “sad” become “tragedy”? That one child’s death is every bit as much a tragedy to that mother as the death of 3000+ on 9/11. Don’t fall into the trap of ascribing more importance to large groups than you do to an individual. That is “collective” type thought.

It’s been going on plenty for 1000s of years..only much more violence and suicide was due to religious views. The only difference now, is meatheads like you can hear about every little incident in the media and put in your 2 cents in as you thump your bible.

      prior to libs taking over our public schools, we ranked top in the world in math and science. We are under the half way ranking now.

      Check the stats on teen suicide, murder, and other violent crimes prior to 1962 and see what you find. I checked it, and it was about nill. the combinations of feminism, rock music, evolution, humanism….. have led to the state of affairs we are in now. take a look at the OWS crowd. this is what the left creates – money sucking leeches that produce nothing but crime and chaos

With all the government meddling in schools, the erosion of morality and people not caring about others, as well as social media enabling kids to easily abuse others in ways we never had to deal with, it‘s truly a wonder all kids aren’t jumping in front of cars these days.

      Growing up in a ghetto was no treat, but more people did attended church in the 50’s and 60’s.
      The church I attended as a kid has a meager congregation now, and the private school associated with it was razed in the late 80′s due to low enrollment and higher taxes.
      Crime has gone through the roof in the old hood and grade school kids carry.
      The local police advise outsiders to avoid the area.
      If a local doesn’t recognize a person, a stranger in the hood could be in trouble in short order.
      Public schools teach coping and little about success.

      Watched a video this weekend of a retired pro-football player who grew up in a neighborhood near where I live now.
      His story is the same.
      There was much more parenting then.
      He also said the pastors in the old churches taught more to the kids then God and the Bible, they taught the kids to respect their parents, teachers, coaches, their elders and each other.
      And, any mom in the hood could straighten out anybody’s kid, that’s the way it was.
      All the women were real mothers, to all the kids.
      It was all about having respect for one’s self, through God, and helping those who needed help, not expecting a perpetual handout from a government.

      Hoods were a different kind of tough then, people were respectful, and we always helped each other.

    If she had gotten her GED that means she probably had problems in school. It might be that she came from a broken home with the mother having to shoulder the responsibility of raising her alone. Maybe Catrina was a typical mouthy teenage who always thought the world revolved around her. At 1:00 am, she was probably getting the riot act from her mother and she probably deserved it…had to show mom who’s boss.

      @Prowd2beblack, @scarebear83 – i had to respond to the ICP remark. contrary to what everyone may think you need to hear the whole content of the message. ironically those “messed up people” preach brotherhood, and love to the people that are rejected and socially outcast by the norm. you always have a Homie to get your back no matter what. which is a lot more then most people give these days. judging by the comment from @scarebear83 may i assume he has had some time listening to some degree. you know in the end troubled people can turn to them and their message because the base of the message is God, it is Friendship with each other regardless of race, gender, shape and size with no chance of rejection. granted they are vulgar but i bet when you get trampled on and angry you get that way too.

      A dear friend of mine has a mentally-ill-daughter. The daughter was out-going, ready to go to college and she was “dumped” dramatically by her boyfriend and radical behavior started. She is now reaching the age of 50 and continual ups & downs. It has taken a toll on my friend and when I lived in the same town, I went with my friend to mental wards where her daughter would be. Her daughter was raised a Christian and to this day, she is a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Changes in her medication, not taking the medication and the rest of the family cannot handle & will not handle the ill member of the family. The Good Lord watches over her because one time, she escaped a mental ward and was wandering the streets in the dead of winter, about 2am, with only a nitie on and knocked on several doors, no answer, the last door..a woman opened her door..she was a specialist with the mentally ill. There are more stories, but the fact is, the daughter can function with meds, if she will take them, so she does not qualify for a group-home-safety. My heart goes out to my friend,her daughter and all others that watch their family members deteriorate. What tortured-souls.The daughter has a caring heart, but when the illness appears, for a number of reasons, her eyes look like a scared, wounded animal. So sad. Like Eric,the five,says..hug your kids…some parents can’t for various reasons. God Bless the children and the parents.

    I feel bad for the kid that was unfortunate enough to be driving the other way when she decided to throw herself into oncoming traffic. He’s going to be haunted by that moment the rest of his life. That’s the kind of thing some people will never be able to recover from. More than one life may have been lost that day.

      Maybe she was getting out of the car because her mother was driving down the wrong side of the road. How else could you throw yourself into oncoming traffic if you were the passenger of the car? Back seat, driver side? No wonder she was mad; her mom made her sit in the back seat, she was so discussed with having to go get her at 1 in the morning.

      That‘s what i’m having a problem with. How could she jump from the front seat into oncoming traffic if she was the passenger? She would have had to jump over her mother and out the drivers door. I would have thought she was in the back seat but the story says she was in the front seat. BTW/ I understand that the main thing here is that a young girl committed suicide. I am not forgetting that. I have 3 kids and I would have been devastated if that had happened to one of mine. Forgive me for wondering about the position of people in the car. I was just confused from the story as to HOW it happened. God’s peace unto you mother.

    I say – ADHD drugs or some other prescription “anti-depressants” are probably involved here. What a tragedy…

    I spent my former life time as a traffic accident investigator for the most part of my career in LE. All that I can say is that stupid people do stupid things. I am not without a heart in this matter and pray for the family. But, I have see just too many idiotic things that only happened because of idiots.

      She apparently acted spontaneously and made a really bad decision. Did her age or emotional instability cause her to act without thinking? Yet to place blame on her mother is ludicrous. Nearly all of us have had arguments with our parents or friends, but fortunately we reined in our emotions before we jumped off the cliff. This young girl behaved rashly and paid the price.

      RESTOREHOPE, I in no way want to come across as heartless and I am certainly not. In fact I have had a number of letters inserted in my file by friends or family members of several injured and deceased who have turned up at the scene of accidents, murders, and even suicides. I would like to think that I have never been anything but respectful of the deceased at such incidents, but at the same time I have to say that some people just do stupid things. The results of their stupidity have lifelong effects on the people who surround the incidents that cost their lives. They also affectively impact the lives of anybody around them…generally for their remainder of their lives.

    Horrifying. I grieve for her family, they will live with this the rest of their lives.
    The same can be said for the boy that was driving the oncoming car. One minute life is wonderful, the next you are traumatized in a way from which you may never completely recover. I often muse over the fact that just a few seconds difference in doing this or that may have life changing consequences. If the boy driving the car had been stopped by a traffic light somewhere, or left his home just seconds sooner, or later, he would not have experienced this.

      Just as only God can see how every life is touched by an effort on His behalf, only He will know the extent of this evil thing. It will be turned for good, in some way. We should all be saddened by this or any young life ended, but more than that, genuine anger at the seeming success of the Evil One in this case. Children are a favorite target of his, all the way back to Herod.

      We are indeed in a huge mess, folks, but not an insurmountable one. God can fix it. Everything happens for a reason.

    I can remember wanting to jump out of the car while being driven by my mother as a teen. “Emotional abuse” is worse than the physical at times.

    At fifteen I ran away from home and never went back. I’m pretty sure I saved my own life.

    The teenaged years were the roughest. When older people told me, “these are the best years of your life”, it filled me with despair back then. I’m glad I survived those years because it just got better and better when I got older. I believe it is MUCH MUCH worse for the young people today than it was when I was young. I wouldn’t want to be young again for anything. I feel terrible for her and especially for her mother.

    Unless she had something against her mother she should have at least done something on her own not involving her mother. Suicides are selfish acts. She should have reached out to her mother instead. And it doesn’t bode well for the next life either.

      A suicidal person has tunnel vision…just the person and the pain in that tunnel and only one way out. When they reach their point of no return, no one else exists. It is the most horrific grief to deal with and a complicated subject to understand. Prayers for all involved as they start on a long and difficult emotional journey.
