Ramp and Expressway Accidents in Buffalo
Crashes on freeway entrance ramps—like the one reported Thursday at Best St and the Kensington Expy—are often caused by sudden lane changes, speed misjudgment, or slick pavement. These transition zones between city streets and high-speed highways require careful maneuvering, especially in urban areas like Buffalo where ramps can be narrow or curved.
Ramp crashes can result in serious injuries due to sudden deceleration or loss of vehicle control. Drivers may underestimate the sharpness of a turn or be caught off guard by merging traffic, especially when visibility is limited or the roadway is wet. In areas like Medical Park, where traffic from multiple directions converges, the risk of such incidents increases.
Victims of ramp-related accidents may suffer a range of injuries—from head trauma and chest injuries to back and neck strain. These injuries may not always be apparent at first but can worsen if left untreated. Medical attention, follow-up care, and legal guidance are often necessary to support a full recovery.
