Early on Wednesday morning, March 9 there was a devastating crash in southwest Houston involving an 18 wheeler and a Jeep.
According to authorities, the accident happened shortly before 2.30 a.m. at Briarpark Drive at Westheimer.
There was a collision between a Jeep and the semi tractor trailer as the driver of the Jeep, who was a woman in her 20s, was traveling at a high rate of speed and did not brake before smashing into the back of the big rig.
The force of the impact was so great that the back of the 18 wheeler sliced right through the Jeep and broke the back axel of the rig. It went into the driver’s seat meaning that firefighters had to carefully extract her.
The woman was taken to hospital suffering from critical injuries and the roadway was closed for several hours for the investigation and to clear the wreckage.
