Hit-and-Run Dangers in Buffalo’s Residential Corridors
Incidents like the one at Clinton St and S Ogden St highlight the persistent danger of hit-and-run accidents in urban settings such as Buffalo. When a driver leaves the scene of an accident, it complicates medical response, legal processes, and emotional recovery for victims.
Buffalo has seen an increase in hit-and-run cases in recent years, often concentrated in neighborhoods with heavy foot traffic and intersections with limited visibility. The intersection of Clinton and Ogden is a busy corridor that blends residential and commercial zones, making it especially hazardous during peak hours.
Leaving the scene of a crash is a criminal offense in New York, particularly when injuries are involved. Victims may face additional obstacles in recovering damages or receiving timely insurance compensation without an identified at-fault party.
Anyone injured in a hit-and-run should seek medical care immediately, report the incident to law enforcement, and consult with legal professionals. Gathering evidence, such as witness statements or surveillance footage, can be vital in identifying the responsible driver.
