UPDATE 3:00 Two people have died in a plane crash on Interstate 93 in Hooksett, where white cloths are covering one body in a wooded median and another still inside the craft.

The police do not know the identities of the two victims, according to state police Lt. Chris Wagner. The police have said one of the victims is a male, but declined to give the sex of the second victim.

The plane crashed around 1:10 p.m. at the intersection of I-93 northbound and Interstate 293. The plane was flying southbound when one of its wings struck a steel light pole, according to Wagner, who said it is unclear if the pilot was trying to make an emergency landing.

Wagner said the plane, which is partially visible underneath a blue tarp, is relatively intact, and he said there was only minor debris spread across the highway.

According to FAA records, the single-engine Beechcraft A36 is registered to Herman Hasinger Architects of Block Island, Rhode Island.

Wagner said two FAA investigators are headed to the scene, and the plane will not be moved until the investigation is complete.
