Car Accidents in New York
The Skyway is a vital connector between Buffalo’s downtown and waterfront areas, carrying both commuter and recreational traffic. High speeds, merging vehicles, and sudden lane changes can increase the likelihood of accidents, particularly during weekends when traffic volumes are unpredictable. The elevated nature of the Skyway also limits escape routes and stopping distances in emergencies.
According to New York traffic safety data, high-speed crashes can cause severe injuries due to the increased force of impact. Contributing factors often include speeding, distracted driving, and unsafe lane changes.
Local Accident Reports urges motorists to maintain safe speeds, keep a proper following distance, and remain attentive when traveling on elevated or high-speed routes. These precautions can help reduce the risk of serious collisions.
