Ice blamed for deadly ****** on I-295 in Bucks County on Sunday

A New Jersey woman was killed and an Upper Makefield man seriously injured in what Pennsylvania State Police are calling an ice-related accident on Interstate 95 on Sunday night.

The accident happened shortly before 9 p.m. in Middletown at the I-295 exit, according to a police press release.

A preliminary investigation found that Samantha Cote, 34, of High Bridge, was entering the eastbound ramp of I-295 from Southbound Route 1 when she lost control of her 2007 Toyota Matrix, swerving after hitting a sheet of ice, police said.

She swerved left across multiple lanes of traffic striking a metal guide rail, before bouncing back into the lane of travel, then spinning 180 degrees and striking a 2020 Volkswagen Jetta on the left travel lane of eastbound I-295, police said.

After striking the Jetta, the Toyota drifted right and came to a stop blocking the right shoulder of the road. The Jetta also came to a stop on the right lane of I-295 eastbound.

State police noted that the Toyota had major front end damage but no airbags deployed. Cote was taken to St. Mary Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

The driver of the Jetta, a 25-year-old man from Washington Crossing, was taken to St. Mary Medical Center with unspecified serious injuries.
