There are two very different stories in this video. The title story appears later on, generally beginning around 12:30. The preceding interview, however, stands strongly on its own, offering a raw view into an unfortunate reality of police work: accident investigation.
Below you will find a synopsis of the accident events. Regarding the officer medical emergency, Real World Police is working to verify an update received. Until then, nothing further.
On Tuesday, July 17, 2018, at 1:00 am 19-year-old Jennifer Alejandra Beltran Rojas was riding as passenger on a 50cc [read: slow even with one rider] 2017 Riya scooter in Orlando, Florida when the scooter was struck by the front bumper of a grey Lexus IS250. Both scooter riders were ejected a distance and transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center; the driver of the Lexus declined medical attention. At 9:11 pm Ms. Rojas was pronounced deceased due to severe head trauma. She had been wearing a three-quarter motorcycle helmet with a full-face shield, but it appears that the chin strap was not fastened, and that the helmet had come off early in the accident sequence.
Gustavo Andres Zarta-Osorio had been married to Ms. Rojas and was in control of the scooter at the time of the accident. In a translated-from-Spanish interview later that day, Zarta-Osorio provided the following (excerpted) information:
He had been at the McDonalds located at 5400 S. Kirkman Road with his wife. When preparing to leave, and while seated on the front seat of the scooter, he turned around to assist her with her helmet, as she was having trouble putting it on due to her hair. After putting her helmet on her head, he turned around and faced forward again. He did not know if she had strapped the helmet on. Zarta-Osorio stated that they had been in the right lane because the scooter doesn’t travel very fast and they would be making a right turn onto Conroy Road.
Zarta-Osorio stated they were traveling less than 50 miles per hour and there wasn’t a lot of traffic. When they were halfway across the bridge, he was knocked off his scooter. He put his hands out so he wouldn’t hit his head. After landing on the ground, he got up and looked for his wife. He found her with bumps and abrasions on her head. And no helmet.

saw this happen to a friend one day..hanging out in my backyard,,, just collapsed,,siezured a bit…came back to..didnt even know anything happened when he regained consciousness,, went to a doctor..could never find the cause and it hasnt happened since..we still talk about it like dude..wtf happened that night ?? haha
"Strobes are getting me"
That citizen was speechless.
The black guy is a wonderful human being ðŸ‘Â
Those strobes will get you. Happened to a friend of mine – she went out like a light (no pun intended).
Lights like this can bring on serious migraines too which can look like a stroke etc. a lot of people don’t know that
Dude owns a gym, he probably has seen people collapse before. Poor guy, he's been thought quite a day!
I feel so bad for the guy in the accident. Talk about having a bad night….
The dude they were interviewing seemed like the only one of them who knew something was wrong. Other guy just offering him water lmao
Dang I got so caught up in the dudes story I forgot what this video was actually about… I forgot to expect the cop to fall so it caught me off guard.
It's so cool everyone is calling him a Citizen vs a Civilian. Citizens have rights, Civilians do not. Hats off to all of you!
What happened
I have seizures..POLICE 🚆LIGHTS SET OFF SEIZURES!
I've always thought how reckless it was to keep them flashing. maybe a slower flash or something!
its thoughtless and their dangerous
I'm glad I ff cuz I would've wanted to smack someone's head for making me wait 12 min into the clip for anything to happen 😉
Had I collapsed like that I’d be arrested
So the real question. . . what scent was the candle?
The citizen is such a lovely person, very articulate and professional. One of gods earth angels.
Wow 😳
Maybe this guy should be an EMT or something.
"That Red Bull hit me a little bit" lol
“I’m good†first words out of someone’s mouth that they’re really not good.
Poor guy that is a shit feeling man
Driver is a good person but very long winded
Seizures are scary. I'm glad we're all looking out for each other.
Dudes face at 13:06… he's like umm he isn't good guys… dafuq do I do?
Poor dude just accidently killed a girl, and the cop that shows up has a heart attack. Thats a shitload of trauma at once… RIP to the girl, and I hope the officer was okay after this.
Something spiritual was happening this day for sure
if i heard correctly that he said these strobes are messing with me, then he might have had a case of flicker vertigo. and one of the signs of that is fainting. and another possibility is that he may have photosensitive epilepsy and it has yet to be diagnosed. and i know that having epilepsy doesn't necessarily disqualify you from being employed as a police officer.
Did he get arrested?
Florida. Not only is this Florida, but I know exactly where in Florida.
The guy got off. Well he had to be sentenced with the mandatory minimum (reckless driving) but other than that he wasn't charged with vehicular homicide or anything. He didn't even get his license taken away. The cop I'm not sure. Didn't see the uploader reply about that yet.
Doesn’t seem as if it was a seizure at all. Being that he was apparently conscious and alert immediately following the first time he went to the ground. Seizures are very nearly always followed by a ‘post-ictal period’ which generally is seen as severe confusion and disorientation. This could’ve been many many different things happening.
Naa im ok just a bit tired. The asphalt looked like a cumfy spot to fall onto.
Did he blame Red Bull at the ending?? Just tryin to ease the tension…
That guy didn't deserve this shitty shitty night he's having… I hope he didn't get in trouble or doesn't blame himself too much. 🙁
what happened to the black guy?
ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ Praying For The OFFICER
Police lights cause seizures and when somebody is driving down the Street the last thing you need is something that can make them cause a seizure parked on the side of the road
"I'm just tired…" LOL… the confidence. I mean, I get it, he's trying to "come back" and make it all go away but there are limits man. If one stumbles, okay, happens. Can already be an indicator of more serious issues but let's say one regains one's balance. But falling on the ground like a ragdoll and then stating "It's allright, nothing to see here!" is a bit of a downplay.
Does anyone know what the officer said when the caption "pay attention to what the officer is about to say"?
WOW! The driver seemed believable and obviously upset over the accident but then to see his face when the detective went down. I hope everything turned out okay for both the driver and detective.
That poor civilian was so concerned lol
I believe that the department's own
Red and Blue's flashing reached a frequency that triggered the episode. But that's just me.
I sure hope no one said to him, "Things always happen in 3s."
Happens at 12:34 btw
Gets shot nah it didn’t hurt just tired and fell over dummy
Cop: 'I'm good'. 😂 Hope he's ok.
Now can someone please explain to me why did the officer wanted to arrest him for a accident
Look I've been having an awful night this was traumatic. Cop falls over. Poor guy and I hope the cop was okay.
