A 64 -year -old woman caused a long block on the interstate 45 in Texas, the United States, after intentionally buffered a truck and sitting in the middle of the road holding a revolver gun.
The accident occurred on Thursday afternoon (26) and mobilized a great police operation. The woman, who suffers from mental disorders, positioned a garden chair on the asphalt and kept the weapon near the face and head, making the agents intervention difficult.
For about five hours, both lanes of the highway were closed while the police tried to negotiate with the woman. He was called a crisis management expert and the arrival of his daughter helped calm her. According to the sheriff and Gonzalez, the presence of his daughter was fundamental so that the woman renounced a possible extreme gesture.
The impasse ended without injuries. The woman surrendered and was taken to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. The truck driver involved in the accident was also released unharmed. The sheriff considered the outcome positive and stressed that although the woman can respond to some infringements, the most important thing was to guarantee her safety and avoid the use of strength.
