PITTSBURGH — Authorities have identified two women killed in a crash on one of Pittsburgh’s busiest highways, but still aren’t sure why one of them was driving in the wrong direction at the time.

Police believe that woman, 24-year-old Sidney Cope, of Coraopolis, entered Route 28 incorrectly and drove outbound from the city on the highway’s inbound lanes. That caused her to collide with a car driven by another 24-year-old woman, Clara Roberts.

Robert was from Indiana, Pa., and was driving into the city on her way to Pittsburgh International Airport. She had planned to fly to her home state of Texas to visit family.

Instead, their cars collided head-on shortly after 3:30 a.m. Thursday. Both died at nearby Allegheny General Hospital.

PHILADELPHIA — Citations for distracted driving are up dramatically in Pennsylvania.

The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts reported Friday that citations have increased 52 percent in the last two years, to more than 12,000 in 2016.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that men accounted for 70 percent of drivers cited for texting while driving, or for wearing headphones or earphones while driving.

A distracted driving citation comes with a $50 fine plus court costs.
