SEE IT: One Dead In 100-Car Pileup On I-90 Near Buffalo NY As Blizzard Warning Issued


(VIDEOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE)

Media outlets in Buffalo, New York, are reporting that at least 75 vehicles were involved in a crash on the Thruway in Lancaster.

Video appears to show dozens of vehicles and at least 10 tractor-trailers involved in the snowy accident.

Crews had to extract multiple people from vehicles. One person was killed and at least two people sustained very serious injuries — including one critical — but many were considered minor.

A witness travelling in the other direction posted a video on Twitter showing cars backed up for about three-quarters of a mile in the Thruway’s east bound lanes.

All lanes were blocked on I-90 eastbound at exit 50 (Niagara Falls – I-290) during evening rush hour. All eastbound traffic must get off at exit 50. I-90 west is closed at exit 48A (Pembroke). All traffic must exit at 48A.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said seven volunteer fire departments were at the scene and hundreds of cars were backed up.
