Woman dies in crash that closes North Freeway southbound lanes near Spring

A woman died in a hospital following a crash on the North Freeway that shut down all southbound lanes in the Spring area. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said Laine Cramer was driving a Volkswagen Jetta and failed to stay in a single lane, hitting multiple delineators and an impact attenuator before rotating on the roadway. A Jeep Cherokee driven by Jesus Duarte then struck the Volkswagen's right side. All southbound lanes were reopened about three hours after the crash.
