Miraculous, a woman in her 20s survived, although she is in critical condition right now.

Firefighters had to extract her. HPD says the driver of the Jeep did not hit the brakes and was traveling at a high rate of speed.

The impact was so hard, it broke the back axel of the 18-wheeler.

Now, all inbound lanes are closed here on Briarpark Drive, but may reopen soon. The westbound lanes will be closed for several hours.
