HOUSTON (KTRK) — A bizarre rush hour crash shut down Highway 290 at Huffmeister Road Monday morning. After a wreck, a woman stripped down and got on top of the cab of a big rig.
That woman refused to come down for about two hours. Firefighters and police officers finally coaxed her into a ladder truck basket at about 11am.
“I just hope that her being naked, and being belligerent doesn’t take over the situation, and that they can just get her some help,” said Keaton Gray, one of many eyewitnesses glued to the unexpected sight.
The outbound lanes of 290 were shut down for a couple of hours. The inbound side was shut down for about 20 minutes while they got her down.
