Texas highway shut down following crash, naked woman on freeway
HOUSTON (WPVI) -- A bizarre rush hour crash shut down the westbound lanes of Highway 290 in Houston, Texas. After a wreck, a woman stripped down and got on top of the cab of a big rig.
The woman refused to come down for about two hours.
Firefighters and police officers finally coaxed her into a ladder truck basket at about 11 a.m. local time.
The outbound lanes of Highway 290 were shut down for a couple of hours. The inbound side was shut down for about 20 minutes while they got her down.
It was not immediately clear what led to the initial accident.

The woman, who appeared agitated, stood up a few times, but then returned to sitting on the cab of the 18-wheeler.
An investigation is underway.
