TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) A 28-year-old Tahlequah woman was killed and her 7-year-old son seriously injured when her car slid off the roadway and struck a tree in Cherokee County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Cheryl Cummings was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash about 7:30 Tuesday morning. 7-year-old Nokoma Romannose was transported by life flight to Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa with head and leg injuries.
