HOUSTON, TEXAS
Houston police said a 24-year-old woman was killed Thursday night in a crash on the 610 North Loop.
The incident happened at about 11 p.m. in the eastbound lanes near the Irvington overpass.
Police said an 18-wheeler may have swerved from an exit ramp to the main lanes at the last second, causing the woman to crash into the back of the truck at a high rate of speed.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police investigated the incident, but there was no early confirmation on charges or fines the truck driver would face, if any.
The freeway's eastbound lanes were closed for several hours.
