HOUSTON – A woman is recovering in the hospital Sunday morning after she drove her pickup into a fire truck blocking an accident scene, an official with the Houston Police Department said.
The crash happened around 10 p.m. Saturday night in the 13000 block of Northwest Freeway, HPD Sgt. David Rose said.
Police officers were investigating a DWI crash when an F-150 ran into a Houston Fire Department vehicle blocking the accident scene, Rose said. No one was in the fire tuck during the accident. The only person in the F-150 was the driver, who was partially ejected from her vehicle during the crash. According to investigators, she was not wearing a seat belt.

Police are investigating whether alcohol played a role in the crash, Rose said.
