MASSACHUSETTS: In the U.S. state of Massachusetts, a small plane crashed on a highway, killing two people and injuring a woman passerby.
Massachusetts police stated that early yesterday morning, a small plane went down along a highway, sending smoke into nearby areas and forcing authorities to temporarily close a major roadway. The crash and subsequent fire resulted in the deaths of two individuals, while a woman in a car on the highway sustained injuries.
Videos captured by nearby drivers show scattered and burning debris, with smoke rising from the site near Interstate 195.
