Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the woman was driving at the intersection of Cypress North Houston Road and Cypress Creek Forest Drive in Cypress, just outside of Houston, at around 3:15 p.m. on May 10 when her vehicle — a 2025 Mercedes G-Class SUV — rolled over multiple times.
The sheriff's office later identified the woman as Charlotte Yvette Stegall in an incident report. According to investigators, she was headed west on Cypress North Houston Road when she drifted from her lane and momentarily crossed into the eastbound lane.
Police wrote that that her vehicle then left the road, struck several fences and then 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.
"Thankfully no one in the home was injured," Gonzalez said on X.
Officials said that Stegall was trapped in the vehicle due to the crash, and first responders pronounced her dead at the scene.
Gonzalez added on X that the SUV also struck a gas barbecue grill during the rollover and may have started a small fire, but it was quickly extinguished. Additionally, Stegall's vehicle struck a power box, knocking out electricity for some of the neighborhood.
