Mom charged with killing son amid angry texts facing death

DUBOIS, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says 59 vehicles crashed in a snowy pileup along a western Pennsylvania highway, and injuries are reported. PennDOT spokesman Jim Carroll says 22 tractor-trailers and 37 cars are involved the crash on Interstate 80 in Jefferson County. He says the number and severity of injuries is unclear. A message seeking comment from the Pennsylvania State Police wasn't immediately returned. The crash was one of three that shut down different stretches of I-80 in the western part of the state. Lake effect snow bands were being blamed for slick roads and poor visibility. A jack-knifed tractor-trailer caught fire in Mercer County near the Ohio border. Another crash closed a separate stretch of the highway elsewhere in Mercer County. ___ This story has been corrected to show the crash happened Thursday, not Wednesday.
