CONROE, TX (KTRK) -- A woman from Willis was killed driving home from her own birthday party last night.
Tammy Rhoades was out celebrating her 45th birthday when she pulled over to help a stranded driver on Interstate 45 near FM 3083.
The first driver got a flat tire in the construction zone in Conroe and stopped in a moving lane of traffic. Rhoades pulled behind him and put her flashers on
The driver of a third vehicle then plowed into the back of Rhoades' vehicle, smashing it so badly that the back seat ended up in the front seat.
Later, Conroe police arrested 21-year-old driver Tyler Shelton. He's charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Police advise anyone who gets a flat tire along the construction zone on I-45 in Conroe to keep driving on their bad wheel until they can get to an area of the freeway to exit.
