The video shows a white SUV towing a sedan with just a chain as it swings erratically across lanes. Other vehicles on the roadways slow down in their attempt to avoid the vehicle.

What they're saying:

Witnesses recall seeing the vehicle stalled on the feeder road

Steve Nolin says he was on his way coming down the feeder of 610 and saw the stalled car, but was shocked to see the video late online. 

"I saw there was a car that was facing the wrong way on the feeder road. There was a white truck in front of it and there was a chain that was attached to the car. But before I pulled into the other lane, I did see a tow truck that pulled out, and then he pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, and I didn't see him after that," said Nolin. "I thought it was pretty crazy. I've seen a lot of crazy things in Houston, but that might take the cake on it," 

A person can be seen inside the towed vehicle as Chairez speeds up to get next to it.
