HOUSTON, TX — A woman died early Tuesday morning when a driver crashed a stolen big rig into her mobile home in northwest Houston, reports ABC13.
Houston police said the incident occurred on 11500 McKinley Street hours after they received an alert about an 18-wheeler stolen from a local trucking company.
Officers were able to locate the truck after following its GPS tracking system, which prompted the suspect driver to flee.
