A small plane crashed onto Interstate 195 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, on Monday morning amid heavy rain and strong winds caused by a passing storm.
The tragic incident left two people dead, and one person injured on the ground after the aircraft struck a nearby vehicle. Authorities closed the highway in both directions near the crash site and began an immediate investigation.
According to preliminary reports, the plane took off from New Bedford Regional Airport but did not file a flight plan or provide passenger details. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are leading the investigation to determine the causes, which may include adverse weather conditions.
¿What factors could have caused the crash?
While there are no official conclusions yet, investigators believe the storm’s heavy rain and strong winds may have affected the plane’s visibility or maneuverability. Additionally, the lack of an official flight plan makes it more difficult to track the exact route taken.
Meanwhile, local residents and drivers have been advised to avoid the area as cleanup and recovery efforts continue.
