The victims have been identified as a teacher and her son. Authorities did not immediately disclose the ages of those killed or other details regarding the vehicle involved in the accident.
Police said preliminary investigations suggest the vehicle skidded before leaving the road surface. The exact cause of the skid remains under investigation as authorities examine whether weather conditions, mechanical failure, or driver error may have contributed to the crash.
