Unfortunately, 2018 has started off with some rather unwelcoming news for our friends in Buffalo. Today the area was dealing with some rather nasty winter weather, which triggered a multi-car accident.
This resulted in upwards of 100 cars being involved in the incident although reports have cited somewhere between 15 and 25 cars, and 10 tractor-trailers directly involved in collisions. This resulted in a one mile long back up, which we're confident only got larger.
As of about 6:30 p.m. ET it was confirmed that there was one fatality related to this wreck. In addition, one individual is fighting for their life tonight.
Our thoughts are with the families directly impacted by the incident.
Be safe out there, Spies!
