BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- Three people were injured in a two-vehicle crash involving a rollover early Sunday morning on the inbound Skyway, Buffalo police officials said.
The crash happened around 12:45 a.m. on Route 5 at Ohio Street heading towards downtown Buffalo. The three people injured in the crash were transported by ambulance to area hospitals for treatment. There was no immediate update on their conditions.
Route 5 eastbound beyond Tifft Street was closed as a result of the crash for just under four hours Sunday morning, according to NITTEC. It reopened just before 4:30 a.m.
The crash is at least the third in the vicinity of the inbound Skyway and Ohio Street in four days, as a five-vehicle crash backed traffic up on Route 5 Saturday afternoon while a motorcyclist died after striking a pole on the 400 block of Ohio on Thursday evening.
The cause of Sunday's crash remains under investigation.
