A Texas woman died after her SUV flipped over and rolled into a neighborhood, striking a power box before landing in a backyard.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the woman was driving at the intersection of Cypress North Houston Road and Cypress Creek Forest Drive in Cypress, just outside of Houston, around 3:15 p.m. on May 10 when her vehicle, a 2025 Mercedes G-Class SUV, rolled over several times.
The sheriff’s office later identified the woman as Charlotte Yvette Stegall in an incident report. According to investigators, she was driving west on Cypress North Houston Road when she swerved into the eastbound lane.
According to police, her vehicle then left the road, collided with several fences, and rolled over to the right before coming to a stop on all four wheels in the backyard. Officials told FOX 26 that Stegall was alone in the SUV.
“Fortunately, no one in the house was injured,” Gonzalez said on X.
According to officials, Stegall was trapped in the vehicle as a result of the crash, and first responders pronounced her dead at the scene.
Gonzalez told X that the SUV also hit a gas barbecue grill during the rollover, which may have started a small fire but was quickly extinguished. Stegall’s vehicle also collided with a power box, knocking out power to parts of the neighborhood.
CenterPoint Energy, the local power company, told Click2Houston that electricity was restored by 9 p.m. Saturday. Gonzalez added that the eastbound lanes of Cypress North Houston Road were temporarily closed.
“Our hearts go out to all those affected by this incident,” the power company stated. “CenterPoint Energy crews are onsite collaborating with first responders and law enforcement to secure the area and restore service to impacted customers safely and as quickly as possible.”
There have been no injuries reported. The cause of the crash is unknown.
