The girl, clad in a tank top, shorts, and boots, is seen talking on her cellphone and walking along the white line separating two lanes.

"Get off the freeway!" a man's voice yells, causing the woman to briefly look back in surprise.

The reasons for the woman's freeway walk were unclear. It was not known Tuesday whether Houston police were investigating the video.
