Two people have died after a light aircraft crashed on a motorway during rush hour traffic.
The small plane carrying two passengers plunged onto Interstate 195 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, at about 8.15am today.
It went up in flames after reportedly hitting a vehicle and landing on the grassy verge.
Two people on the plane died while one person on the ground was injured, according to state police.
The plane is thought to have been a Socata TBM 700 turboprop plane.
Footage shows the badly burnt plane wreckage on its side on the central reservation, with debris scattered around along the road.
It is thought the pilot had tried to land at a nearby airport, but ran into difficulty due to heavy rain and strong winds.
The major US motorway has been closed and is likely to remain shut for hours, officials warned.
The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to launch an investigation into the crash, which comes after a spate of fatal aviation incidents this year.
Last month, a small Beech BE35 plane crashed near a Denver airport, killing two people on board.
