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.

4 New York grandparents who went missing on trip to West Virginia found dead in crash
Four people who went missing during a trip from New York to West Virginia were found dead in a crash this weekend, officials said. The Marshall County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post on Sunday that 89-year-old Kishore Divan, 85-year-old Asha Divan, 86-year-old Shailesh Divan, and 84-year-old Gita Divan died on Saturday in a crash. The post said the four were reported missing from Buffalo. Marshal County Sheriff Mike Dougherty said in the Facebook post that their vehicle went over a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road in Marshall County. The vehicle was found on Saturday around 9:30 p.m., and first responders were on the scene for more than five hours. "Sheriff Dougherty extends condolences to the families of the victims," the Facebook post said. CBS affiliate WTRF reported that the grandparents were last seen on July 29 after they stopped at the Burger King on Peach Street in Erie, Pennsylvania. They were reportedly driving a light green Toyota Camry headed to Pittsburgh, with plans to spend the night at Prabhupada's Palace of Gold in Moundsville, West Virginia.
