Spring, TX – A woman died after a two-vehicle collision on the North Freeway early Sunday morning in the Spring area, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators said Cramer was driving a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta southbound when she failed to maintain a single lane. The car struck several delineators and an impact attenuator with its front end before rotating on the roadway.
