A 5-year-old boy was killed and a woman was critically injured in a crash on State Route 281 on Wednesday afternoon in Somerset County, state police said. The boy was ejected from a 2008 Ford Taurus driven by Erica Morrison, 37, of Confluence. Morrison was flown to Conemaugh Hospital and was in critical condition. Morrison was driving north on State Route 281, also known as Kingswood Road, in Upper Turkeyfoot Township around 1:20 p.m. when she crossed into the southbound lane and was struck by a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado driven by John King, 40, of Confluence, police said. King suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Conemaugh Hospital for treatment.

Investigators aren't saying how or whether the boy was related to Morrison, who was taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown in critical condition. But troopers say the woman driving the car he was in, 37-year-old Erica Morrison, of Confluence, will be cited for speeding. The driver of the truck, 40-year-old John King, was in serious condition at the same hospital. The crash happened about 1:20 p.m. Wednesday on Route 281 in Upper Turkeyfoot Township.
