Naked woman brings traffic to a standstill after removing off all her clothes

Texas, USA: A naked woman brought traffic to a standstill after peeling off all her clothes and jumping up on top of a lorry to perform a raunchy routine.

It is believed the woman had already crashed her car before clambering up on top of the truck to dance naked.

Part of a Houston-area highway in Texas, US, had to be closed yesterday as emergency services were called to help the woman down.

A fire engine was used to pluck the woman from the roof, as television helicopters circled over Highway 290 to film her dancing, sitting and standing on it.

The woman, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital for physical and mental evaluation, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said.

"She was talking about all sorts of things, Wall Street, the CIA, aliens and all types of things," Thomas Gilliland from the Harris County Sheriff's office said.

Police said she is believed to have had two accidents before slamming her car into a concrete barrier on the highway.
