A 21-year-old woman was rushed to the hospital after she climbed onto the roof of convenience store in Angleton and then jumped down.

The incident happened about 4:30 p.m. at the Buc-ee's on Texas 288 near Highway 35, according to the Angleton Police Department.

Police said investigators don't know how or why the woman climbed onto the nearly 25-foot roof and they also don't know why she leaped down.

Police said the woman and her family had driven from Houston to visit the area. When they stopped at the store, the woman climbed into the roof and refused to get down. Police said when officers arrived, the woman still refused to get off the roof.

A specially trained negotiator was called to the scene to try to help coax the woman down but before the officer arrived, the woman jumped, landing on the roof of her father's pickup truck that was parked in the parking lot.

The woman was flown by LifeFlight medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann-The Texas Medical Center. Police did not disclose her possible injuries or condition.
