HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - A naked woman dancing atop the cab of an 18-wheeler slowed traffic in the Houston area for about two hours before she was coaxed off the truck.

Emergency responders used a fire truck ladder to reach the unidentified woman Monday morning and get her to stop the bizarre public display.

Authorities aren't sure why the nude woman was on top of the cab or whether she had been inside the big rig before a three-vehicle traffic accident nearby.

When news cameras arrived, the woman was sitting in the center of the top of the cab in the fetal position.  Then she stood up and waved her arms up and down.  It's unclear what if anything she was saying.

Traffic was diverted along the stretch of freeway during the incident. Authorities detained the woman and did not immediately say whether she would face charges.
