Small Aircraft Crash Closes Route 195 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts

The incident occurred just after 8 a.m., with no immediate information on injuries. The wreckage of the single-engine plane was seen engulfed in flames on the highway, but the cause of the crash remains unknown, including whether weather conditions played a role.
