First Responders communicate with 36 year old Nicole Marie Globus, of Conroe (standing inside vehicle).
Unsafe Speed on an Unpaved Road, Driver Rolls Vehicle, BLANCHARD, August 2, 2016 - At approximately 4:16 pm on August 2, 2016, a red 2008 Nissan Pathfinder was east-bound on Wobbly Bobbly Tram Road.  The driver, Nicole Marie Globus, 36, of Conroe, passed another vehicle at a high rate of speed.  According to a witness, Globus was traveling around 70 mph on the unpaved road.  Her vehicle drove through a series of pot holes that caused her to lose control.  Globus' vehicle left the pavement to the right and rolled over onto its driver's side.  Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department Heavy Rescue Unit, Scenic Loop Fire Department, and Troopers Darwon Evans and  Kyle Daniel with the Texas Highway Patrol.  Globus was trapped in her vehicle.  Emergency personnel were able to retrieve her baby, however, Globus remained trapped.  Firemen were able to get the back hatch open and clear a path for Globus to work her way out through the back of her vehicle.  Globus and her baby were transported by ambulance to CHI Livingston Memorial Hospital with undisclosed injuries.  The road was blocked during rescue, investigation, and cleanup.  Globus was cited for unsafe speed, expired registration, and no insurance.  A rollback wrecker from Ken's Towing recovered Globus' vehicle and transported it to a nearby house at the request of family.
