A woman in Houston, Texas, was killed in a head-on car crash as she was chasing her husband, who was inside a vehicle with another woman.
According to KPRC 2, the woman - identified as by her family as Nancy Acosta - died at the scene in the 12000 block of Wallisville Road in northeast Houston yesterday evening.
Investigators said she began chasing after her husband, who was driving in a car with another woman. During that chase, authorities said Acosta tried to ram her husband's car several times.
"She was trying to run another vehicle off the road," said Deputy Constavle D. Wilkie of the Harris County Precinct 3 Constable's Office. "She started ramming him from behind and then she lost control and went into oncoming traffic."

Eyewitnesses said Acosta slammed into the driver of a Honda CR-V and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other car was taken to Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute by LifeFlight.
A family friend said Acosta was from El Salvador and a mother of three children.
Friends told KPRC 2 that Acosta was heartsick and angry that her husband, Freddy Acosta, had been having an affair with another woman.
"She was telling me he goes three or four days out of the house and then he would come back, like a common thing," said family friend Dilma Reyes. "She was a doctor in El Salvador and she decided to leave her career to stay with him … she gave up her life for him."
