A 35-year-old mother and her 10-year-old son were killed in an auto accident on a snowy highway in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. The father was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The auto accident occurred heading eastbound on Interstate 80 late in the afternoon. The woman's SUV lost control in the snowy conditions and went down an embankment. The mother and her son died at the scene of the accident. Two others were in the accident, including an infant. They were taken to the hospital for treatment, but there is no update on their condition.

Snowy weather and winter driving conditions often increase the likelihood of an auto accident, making highway driving much more dangerous during this time of the year. It is important to reduce your speed on snowy and icy roads, especially when visibility is poor. Also, by driving more defensively, you will be better able to react to the hazardous conditions on the road, such as skidding vehicles and collisions.
