Three people were killed in a two-vehicle crash in Buffalo, at Genesee Street and Kilhoffer Street, just before 1 p.m. on December 28.

The Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo said that two vehicles, a black minivan, and a white car crashed in a direct collision. Witnesses say that the minivan was going at an extremely high speed. 

The sixty-seven-year-old man who was operating the car and his eighteen-year-old female passenger in the back seat were killed at the scene. The driver of the van, a thirty-eight-year-old man from Niagara Falls, was also killed at the scene.

The police say the van was traveling roughly 80 miles per hour. The scene was horrific and will take some time for the police to reconstruct the crash. The toxicology result is pending and will determine what led to the two-vehicle crash in Buffalo and who was responsible for it. 

For now, the police haven’t released the identities of the victims. Although in the beginning, there was a rumor that there were children involved, the police denied this.

A sixty-one-year-old man was taken to ECMS for treatment after he was hit by debris. He is expected to be well.

Witnesses stated that they saw another man at the scene. Buffalo Police is searching the area, looking for any surveillance video of the accident. THey’re also asking witnesses to contact BPD’s confidential tipline, 716-847-2255, with information.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

  • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.
