5 Killed In Pa. Car Crash, Including Kids

EFFORT, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say five people, including children, have died in a multi-vehicle crash in northeastern Pennsylvania.

The crash happened Saturday on Route 115 in Effort, in Monroe County, about 35 miles north of Allentown. It's the same county where authorities are searching for the suspect in last week's deadly ambush at a state police barracks.

Four vehicles were reportedly involved.

Authorities haven't released any names or further details, but part of Route 115 was closed.
