The woman, who was behind the wheel at the time of the collision, reportedly stayed at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement. Seen dealing with the aftermath of the crash when deputies arrived, her role in the incident is still under the scope of the investigation. Neither individual's identity has been released pending further investigation.
Local authorities continue to urge anyone experiencing domestic violence to seek help through local support systems and hotlines available in the Harris County area.
