Plane crashes on Route 195 in Dartmouth, MA

Tragedy struck on Monday morning in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, when a small plane crashed onto Route 195, claiming the lives of two people. The incident caused both sides of the highway to be closed. The fixed-wing aircraft went down on the grassy median and caught fire at around 8:15 a.m., as reported by Massachusetts State Police. The two individuals who lost their lives were onboard the plane, while one person on the ground sustained injuries and was transported to St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford. The condition of the injured individual is currently unknown. Further details, including the identities of the victims, the crash circumstances, and the highway's reopening schedule, have not been disclosed. The plane may have been attempting to land at New Bedford Regional Airport, but it seems a flight plan was not communicated. The investigation will likely be led by Federal Aviation Administration Officials, with the impact of the weather, which has been harsh due to a nor'easter, yet to be determined. Dartmouth is located approximately 57 miles south of Boston and 28 miles southeast of Providence, Rhode Island.
