On Wednesday morning, a 25-year-old woman lost her life following a traffic collision in Houston.
As per the initial information, the fatal two-vehicle accident took place on 10100 East Freeway near Mercury Drive in east Houston. The early reports showed that a white Box truck, being driven by a 25-year-old woman, entered the freeway ramp at 10100 East Freeway where she changed lanes when it was unsafe.
Just then, her vehicle crashed into a tractor-trailer that was going in the westbound lanes, and then slammed into a concrete pillar and guardrail. On arrival, emergency personnel declared the woman dead. The driver of the tractor-trailer was questioned by the officers and released.
Reports revealed that the box truck rolled on its side with several boxes, believed to be from the trailer, scattered across the roadway after the collision. There were major traffic delays after all westbound lanes were shut down to traffic as crews worked at the scene. Officials reported a major backup along the feeder. No other information has been provided.
An investigation is continuing.
