A traffic delay due to a three-car crash Monday on Highway 290 in Houston was delayed even longer due to a naked woman dancing on top of an 18-wheeler, according to a report by KHOU-TV.

Firefighters and police officers reportedly used a ladder truck to try to get the woman off the truck, but they eventually had to get on the truck themselves to handcuff her, the KHOU report states. Authorities said the crash occurred before the woman boarded the truck, and it’s believed she was involved in the crash, according to the report.

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
