Two people were killed when a small fixed-wing plane crashed onto Route 195’s grassy median in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, around 8:15 a.m. Monday and burst into flames, state police said. The highway is closed. A person on the ground was hurt and driven to St. Luke’s Hospital; severity unknown. Identities, crash circumstances, and a reopening timeline were not released. Police said the plane may have been trying to land at New Bedford Regional Airport and did not appear to have a filed flight plan. The FAA will likely lead investigation. Weather’s role is unclear amid heavy rain and wind.
