PIERREPONT -- A 21-year-old woman and her 5-month-old daughter were killed in a car crash this morning on county Route 29 in Pierrepont.
Aleesha Cobb, 21, died at the scene and her 5-month-old daughter, Paislee Cobb, died of her injuries at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, police said.
Investigator Tim Peets of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation said the road remains closed and a state police collision reconstruction unit is trying to piece together what happened.
"All we know is she was headed towards Colton ... for some unkown reason she swerved over into the other side of the road and hit a tree pretty much head-on," Peets said.
He noted that there is no indication at this time that drugs, alcohol, distracted driving or equipment failure caused the accident.
"We don't know. We're waiting for the results of the collision reconstruction unit," he said.
Peets said there were no witnesses and no homes near the crash site.
"It's a pretty desolate road," he said.
