2 teenagers killed in crash on I-195 in Massachusetts
It happened around 1:35 p.m. around the 19.4 mile marker, near the Reed Road Exit on I-195 West in Dartmouth.
District Attorney Thomas Quinn said only one car was involved in the crash, and both people were ejected. Impact was so severe that the vehicle's engine was dislodged.
On Sunday, Quinn identified the victims as 19-year-old Kevin Dos Santos Lopes of New Bedford and 18-year-old Amilton De Pina Semedo of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Dos Santos Lopes and De Pina Semedo were both rushed to an area hospital but later pronounced dead.
"This single motor vehicle crash is not deemed suspicious. The crash is being investigated by the Massachusetts State Police along with Troopers assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office," Quinn said in a statement.
The car that was involved in the crash was a 2006 Chevy Equinox.
Part of the road was closed while police investigated the deadly crash.
Video from the scene showed a crane had to be used to lift the car back onto the roadway so it could be towed from the scene.
No further information on what caused the deadly weekend crash is currently available.

New Jersey man charged in fatal Fitchburg shooting
Fitchburg police said a man was killed after gunfire erupted on Mechanic Street early Sunday morning. The victim, found suffering from a gunshot wound outside a vehicle, was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. The Worcester County District Attorney's Office said police have arrested 42-year-old Jonathan Reyss-Contreras, of New Jersey. He now faces a number of charges, including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling. He will be arraigned on Monday morning in Fitchburg District Court. Investigators said the two individuals knew each other and there is no danger to the public, but neighbors are still deeply concerned. "It sounded like they were having a party, and then a car peeled off, and I heard .... I thought it was the engine backfiring on the car as it peeled off," neighbor Bruce Smith said. He was standing on his porch when the shooting happened. "It was mind-blowing because I didn't realize it was a gunshot and what happened." "I thought it was a fight. I thought it was an accident. I thought it could've been, you know, anything, but now to come out and figure out someone was shot and killed, you know, it's kind of crazy; it's mind boggling," neighbor Donovan Deleon said. "It's scary because you wonder what really is going on, what's going on up the street, what's going on down the street, what sort of neighbor do I have," neighbor Marlene Crooks said. The shooting remains under investigation, and the victim's identity has not yet been released.
