The accident occurred when the 52-year-old man and his 23-year-old son were heading westbound on the highway and their Toyota Camry crossed the center line and struck a semi-trailer head-on. Officials believe that the car may have hydroplaned on the slick, rainy roads.
The father and son were pronounced dead at the scene, a third person was injured in the accident, a 21-year-old woman from Mansfield. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured.
