BIZARRE: Naked woman on truck shuts down Houston freeway

HOUSTON -- A bizarre rush hour crash shut down Highway 290 at Huffmeister Road in Houston, where a woman stripped down and climbed on top of a big rig truck and refused to come down for about two hours Monday morning.

Firefighters and police officers finally coaxed her into a ladder truck basket at about 11 a.m.
