A woman is in critical condition after falling from a Houston freeway following a collision on Sunday, October 6. The incident occurred on the I-69 Eastex Freeway around 9 p.m., according to local ABC affiliate KTRK-TV.
The Houston Police Department reported that the woman's vehicle had broken down in a southbound lane of the freeway. After activating her hazard lights, she exited her car to call for a tow truck. While waiting outside her vehicle, she was struck by another car, causing her to fall over the freeway overpass wall.
Police estimate the woman fell between 25 to 30 feet, as reported by CBS affiliate KHOU. She was transported to a local hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The driver who was involved in the collision remained at the scene. Authorities have not yet revealed if any charges will be filed against the driver.
The situation escalated when a second accident occurred at approximately 10:12 p.m. as police were investigating the initial incident. Sergeant R. Dallas told KTRK-TV, "We had another crash that occurred where one of our officers that were blocking for that investigation was struck by another female driver who we believe showed signs of intoxication."
The police officer was taken to the hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. The female driver involved in this secondary collision, who had two young children in her vehicle at the time, is facing charges. Authorities suspect she was intoxicated at the time of the crash.
