It happened around 1:25am. A woman investigators say was in her 20s was driving a black Mitsubishi Montero northbound on Barker-Cypress near Addicks Reservoir. They say she lost control and drove off the road.
The vehicle actually went into the air before striking several trees. The driver was ejected and died on impact.
Investigators don't know exactly why the driver lost control. There were no signs alcohol was involved, but a toxicology report will determined that.
"She's traveling at a high rate of speed," said Sgt. Ignacio Aguirre with the Houston Police Department. "For an unknown reason, perhaps to maintain a single lane, at one point goes airborne and strikes several trees. She was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene."
There were no witnesses. A passer-by saw the crash and called 9-1-1. Police say if you witnessed it, call HPD.
The victim hasn't been identified.
