Good morning Wypierdalaj,

A plane landing at LaGuardia Airport collided with an emergency vehicle on the runway, killing the pilot and the co-pilot and badly injuring two Port Authority police officers, according to sources.

The collision occurred after 11:30 p.m. Sunday at the Queens airport, FDNY officials said. An Air Canada plane was nearing the end of its landing procedure when it collided with a Port Authority firetruck manned by police officers that was on the runway, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The pilot and co-pilot of the plane died in the collision, two sources told NBC New York.

After a wet end to the weekend, it continues for Monday. With rain overnight transitioning to a brief burst of wet snow at times today, a wet and potentially slick morning commute and evening commute is possible. Especially near and north of the Mass. Pike, where a quick coating to a couple inches of snow accumulation is possible this morning.

A break in precipitation is likely for much of the afternoon. Snow in spots and a few snow squalls possible for the evening, with that chance through early Tuesday especially across central and eastern Massachusetts.  

Any squalls bring a quick hit of reduced visibility and a light coating of snow in spots. Likely accumulating grassy surfaces, but if a heavier band sets up, roads especially along higher terrain could briefly get slushy. The good news is anything that does fall melts pretty quickly.

The criminal trial for Kelsey Fitzsimmons begins Monday in Essex Superior Court.

The former North Andover, Massachusetts, police officer was shot by a fellow officer. Police say she pointed a gun at her colleagues, but she maintains her innocence.

Lawyers for Fitzsimmons say she was pointing the gun at herself, not officers, claiming she was suffering from postpartum depression amidst a breakup.

The madness is about to turn sweet.

With the first and second rounds of the 2026 men’s March Madness brackets wrapped up, the next round is the Sweet 16.

A serious crash was reported in Chelsea, Massachusetts, early Monday morning.

The crash occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Essex Street, where a car appears to have struck and knocked down several utility poles. Wires are also down in the area.

Six people were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries after a floor collapsed at a wedding venue in Tamworth, New Hampshire, on Saturday, a spokesperson for the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office said.

The collapse happened around 4:30 p.m. while a wedding party of about 140 people was present, according to a joint release from the Tamworth Fire/Rescue Department and the State Fire Marshal’s Office. The office confirmed there were no fatalities and said late Saturday that four of the people treated at the hospital had already been released.

A phone call to the venue, the Preserve at Chocorua, was not answered. Tamworth, a town of about 2,800 people, is around 60 miles north of Concord, New Hampshire, near the western border of Maine. Phone calls to the MaineHealth Memorial Hospital went unanswered Saturday night.
