Air India Crash Reporting Is ‘Premature,' NTSB's Homendy Says

Bloomberg18-07-2025
The head of the US National Transportation Safety Board said it's too soon to draw conclusions about what caused the deadly crash of an Air India jetliner following reports that the captain of the plane likely moved switches that control the flow of fuel to the engines.
'Investigations of this magnitude take time,' NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said Friday in a post to social media platform X. She called recent media reports 'premature and speculative,' without providing any specifics on what exactly she was referring to.

1 killed, 3 hurt in West Garfield Park traffic crash, police say

One man is dead and three others were taken to the hospital following a traffic crash early Sunday morning on the city's West Side. The crash happened just before 4 a.m. in the 3800 block of West Lake Street. Chicago police said a blue Ford sedan, driven by a 20-year-old man, with three passengers, including a 22-year-old man, and two other 20-year-old men, was heading eastbound when the driver disregarded a traffic light and hit a red Chevy sedan. The 22-year-old was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The three 20-year-olds were taken to Stroger Hospital with unknown injuries in fair condition. The Chevy driver, a 37-year-old woman, and the passenger, a 35-year-old woman, refused medical treatment at the scene. Citations are pending. Investigation into the crash remains ongoing by the Major Accidents Investigation Unit.

2 teenagers killed in crash on I-195 in Massachusetts

Two teenagers were killed Saturday afternoon during a crash on Interstate 195 in Massachusetts, the Bristol County District Attorney announced. 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. Dartmouth is located in southeastern Massachusetts, about 28 miles from Providence, Rhode Island and about 57 miles south of Boston. Dartmouth has a population of about 34,000 people.
