Couple shut down busy motorway for romantic proposal

This Texas man wanted to do something ’a bit different’ for his proposal to his girlfriend so he shut down a section of a busy motorway.

Vidal Valladares Navas, 24, wanted to propose to Michelle Wycoff, 23, on this particular stretch of road as it had special meaning for them as a couple - on their second date, they had gone for a motorcycle ride along it to admire Houston’s lit-up skyline.

To surprise Michelle, Vidal told her that they were going to drive to a party but instead had family and friends in eight cars follow them and block the four lanes of traffic so he could jump out and propose to her in the middle of the motorway.
