Effort, PA : 23-year-old woman and four children were dead in a multi-vehicle crash on Saturday afternoon September 20th 2014
Authorities say four children killed in a multi-vehicle crash in northeastern Pennsylvania weren’t in booster seats or wearing seatbelts.
The Saturday afternoon crash killed five, including the 23-year-old woman driving the car in which the children were riding.
Authorities aren’t disclosing the identity of the children or their relationship to the dead woman, Destini Watson. Another passenger, 21-year-old Monisha Roberts, and the drivers of three other cars were injured.
Police told that Watson and Roberts were wearing seatbelts, but the children weren’t restrained.
Police say the pileup happened after Watson tried to pass another vehicle and lost control of her minivan on Route 115 in Monroe County, about 35 miles north of Allentown. Authorities say a high rate of speed played a role in the crash.
