Crash on Highway 290 Leaves Woman Trapped, Causes Lane Closures
A two-vehicle collision on Thursday evening in Cypress, Texas, has left a woman stranded under one of the vehicles. The incident occurred near Mason Road and involved two westbound lanes on Highway 290.
When Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived at the scene, they found a woman trapped beneath her car, which was wedged underneath a larger truck. Responders quickly sprang into action, working to free the woman from her confined space. The effort was successful, and she was eventually extricated from the vehicle without sustaining life-threatening injuries.
The woman reportedly remained calm throughout the ordeal, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, who shared an update on social media following the incident. Unfortunately, this has led to increased traffic delays for those traveling westbound on Highway 290.
As of the latest report, two main lanes in each direction are still closed due to the extent of the damage from the collision. It's essential that drivers continue to expect disruptions and plan their journeys accordingly to ensure safety on the road.

like what was she even doing? driving too fast or something? I guess you never know what's gonna happen on the highway. my brother lives in Texas and he always complains about the traffic, but i guess it's not all bad... unless you get trapped under a truck like that woman did 
. anyway, glad she's okay! that must have been so terrifying for her 
. is this kinda thing common? should people be more careful on the road? and what's with the lane closures? can't they just move the trucks or something? 
... been going up and down that highway nonstop all day... it's crazy how one accident can cause so much disruption. Glad the woman is okay tho, but seriously, can't they have like, a plan in place to get traffic moving faster? 
And btw, why are there always these huge delays whenever something happens on the highway? Like, isn't it supposed to be fast and all that? 
"She remained calm" yeah sure, good luck with that if you're stuck under a truck for who knows how long 
. And 2 lanes are still closed... I'm already running late for work and now this is gonna add another 20 mins to my commute 
that's just gonna make my morning commute a nightmare 
. I mean, you can imagine how scary that must've been for her! Glad the responders were able to get her out safely without any serious harm 
car accident on Highway 290 
and it's such a bummer 
thankfully responders were fast 
.
, and it's heartening to see that the woman remained calm throughout the ordeal 
and that the authorities can soon restore normalcy to Highway 290 
.
traffic was a mess, hope this woman is okay now 
. just wish they could've done something to minimize the damage so we wouldn't have all these lane closures 
. fingers crossed for a quick recovery for the woman and a speedy fix for the highway! 
Like, come on, if you're not familiar with the basics of driving (which most people aren't anyway), how do you expect to navigate a highway without getting into trouble? This whole situation just highlights how reckless some drivers can be and how much we all need to work on our driving skills 
. Anyway, I guess that truck driver was lucky to have avoided any major damage 
. Just hope no one gets hurt on the roads anymore 
just saw that accident on highway 290 and it's crazy! i was so relieved to hear that woman is ok, but ugh all these lane closures are gonna be a real pain for commuters. like, can't they do some DIY magic to fix it faster? maybe some roadside assistance with chains or winches? 
at least she stayed calm which is more than i could've done if i was in that situation!

OMG, can you believe this?! The data is crazy! 2-vehicle collision on Highway 290 leaves a woman stranded for like 45 minutes before responders arrive 
It's estimated that 43% of people who are involved in car accidents aren't wearing their seatbelt! Wear one, folks! Your life might depend on it 
. They have this insane Korean BBQ and it's literally changed my life. Anyway, back to the story... two lanes closed, yeah, that's crazy. But you know what's even crazier? The fact that some people are still using those stupid paper maps 
. Like, come on guys, get with the times! You can just use your phone and Google Maps is like 100% accurate
