Five People Injured in Car Accident Outside Buffalo

April 29, 2013 A Car Accident on the outskirts of Buffalo over the weekend left five people with injuries. Reports indicate that the crash occurred at around 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon along Bloomingdale Road on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation in Genesee County. According to an article from Your News Now-Rochester, the vehicle responsible for causing the collision crossed a median along Bloomingdale and struck an SUV nearly head-on. A motorcyclist, who was behind the vehicles in the initial collision, was able to avoid the wreckage by laying his bike down on the asphalt and skidding to a halt. The crash left the driver and front seat passenger with serious injuries that required paramedics to airlift the pair to local hospitals for treatment. Another passenger in the car, along with the driver of the SUV and the motorcyclist, were also taken by ambulance to trauma centers. The accident leaves many citizens questioning what they should do if they are ever injured as a result of a motor vehicle collision.
