Fatal plane crash on Interstate 195 in Massachusetts.

A small aircraft crashed on Interstate 195 in Massachusetts on Monday morning and ignited a fire, resulting in two fatalities. The incident occurred in Dartmouth shortly after the plane departed from New Bedford Regional Airport. There were no details on whether any vehicles were involved, but a damaged car was found nearby. A bystander on the ground sustained injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. The victims' identities have not been disclosed. The plane has been identified as a Socata TBM 700 belonging to Easton Air, LLC from Rhode Island. State officials mentioned that the pilot did not file a flight plan with the airport. The highway was shut down for several hours following the crash. Despite the severe weather from a nor'easter, the New Bedford Regional Airport has remained operational, with many flights canceled. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board will likely use the airport as a base for the accident investigation.
