Two people are dead, and two others are hurt following an overnight crash along Route 140 in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
State police say troopers responded around 2 a.m. Saturday to the single-car crash on the southbound side of the highway at Mile Marker 2.1 and arrived to find a significantly-damaged Honda Civic off the road with four occupants.
One person was declared dead on scene, police said. The other three were taken to a local hospital, where a second person died from their injuries. There was no immediate update on the condition of the two who were hurt.
Traffic was able to pass in the breakdown lane while detectives conducted an on-scene investigation, police said. The road reopened to normal traffic shortly after 5 a.m.
The victims names are not being released at this time, pending notification of families, according to state police, who offered their condolences to the victims’ loved ones.
Police haven’t said what they believe caused the deadly crash. An investigation remains ongoing.
