The investigation continues into a deadly plane crash that happened Monday in Dartmouth.
Federal investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are expected to visit the scene on Tuesday.
Massachusetts State Police troopers remained at the crash site overnight to “ensure the integrity of the scene” until their arrival. State police also asked drivers to use caution near the area.
According to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, the single-engine Socata TBM 700 crashed into the woods by the highway. The fuselage ended up in the median, and both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene.
The victims have been identified as Thomas Perkins, 68, and Agatha Perkins, 66, of Middletown, R.I.
A car also hit a portion of the crashed aircraft, the DA’s office said. The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
