Rollover Crash on Houston-Harte Frontage Near Paul Ann Baptist Church

 

Medic 1 EMS crews and the San Angelo Fire Department were tending to a single vehicle rollover on La Follette St, the frontage road to Houston-Harte Expressway near the Paulann Baptist Church this evening.

The police logs described the location as the 2700 block of Houston-Harte.

It took 30-35 minutes for rescue crews to extract the injured female driver. She was transported to a local hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The crash happened just before the first wave of rains hit San Angelo. There was time before the storm that allowed the crews to work without significant rain. After the crash victim was loaded into the ambulance, the downpour rain began.

She was driving a Chevrolet Blazer and the crash happened at approximately 8:41 p.m.

Update 9:44 p.m.

Crash crews are still there. The downpour of rain is fairly heavy hendering cleanup efforts. The frontage road is closed and the Home Motors wrecker has not arrived on the scene yet.

Update 10:00 p.m.

Heavy downpouring rains were causing the San Angelo LIVE! Batmobile to sink into the mud on the shoulder of the frontage road. We evacuated the scene to find more dry land (or pavement). Another minor crash reported at Sherwood Way at Johnson. We're wrapping up this report.

You should anchor a boat around college hills and millbrook and video the idiots who attempt to swim there in cars!
The first wave of rain had not hit on this side of town when the accident occurred. We just hope the lady recuperates despite this misfortune. I was outside observing the weather when I heard the sirens. My family and I went to the store and saw them beginning to block the street. Look at your own photos the road is dry. Your story is not as fully accurate as you portray it.

I'm glad you're going to be ok Kellye... but don't leave the rest of us to assume! What really did happen?
Word here at Tom's bar is that the lady flipped over because she was trying to hurry up and get home to watch "Everyone loves Raymond"but the source has been drinking quite a bit.
Not that it to much even matters but my family member was the one who called the ambulance and tried to get her out first and she said she smelt like alcohol..glad shes alive though!
