PITTSBURGH --

Two women and an infant were killed and four others were injured after their van crashed in Somerset County on Sunday.

One of the women killed in the crash on Lincoln Highway near Shade Church Road on Sunday afternoon was believed to be seven to eight months pregnant, Stoystown Fire Department Chief David Johnson said.

The women were identified as Holly Allison, 28, of Bedford County, who was the driver of the van and was pregnant; and Cory Brown, 26, of Fishertown, Bedford County.

Both women were ejected from the vehicle and died from head injuries, officials said.

The infant, Morgan Magone, 1, was flown to Children's Hospital, where she died.

A 3-year-old and another 1-year-old were also injured in the crash, Johnson said, as were two men.

The four victims who survived were taken by ambulance to Conemaugh Hospital. Their conditions and identities have not yet been released.

Police said that the victims were in a minivan that went off the two-lane highway and rolled several times.

Three people were ejected in the crash, Johnson said. The rest were trapped in the vehicle and had to be rescued by emergency crews.

There's no word yet on the exact cause of the crash.
