Crashes involving two vehicles, such as the one at Fillmore Ave and Clinton St, are among the most common types of roadway accidents in Buffalo. These collisions can result in a variety of injuries, ranging from minor to severe, depending on the impact and the safety features of the vehicles involved.

According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, Buffalo consistently records thousands of crashes each year, with many occurring at busy intersections like Clinton St. Common causes include failure to yield, distracted driving, and speeding.
