Cant really find too many details right now
but some Transit police were at the shop getting fuel … 5 cars involved and 2 dead … car got on the wrong way
Happened around 5am
that is very terrible, too many idiots out there that shouldnt be behind a wheel. probably a drunk driver due to the time

about 6 years ago i was coming home from visiting friends who went to school at Geneseo, i was heading west on the 290 and someone came up the wrong way from the Millersport Highway exit and almost drove straight into me, the lights never turned on until about 100 yards in front of me, then all of the sudden every car swerved, no one hit each other and i looked in my mirror to see a set of brake lights just going in a straight line, called 911, hopefully they got that bastard, my friend who was with me called the amherst police and state police the next day to find out, never got an answer.
Drove by this around 5 am, at least 4 cars totaled, 1 looked like it went through a car crusher. I could not tell what it used to be. Very Very bad accident. My grandma woke up when it happend, she heard the accident 7 blocks away.
How does a crash that bad happen so early in the morning when it is not busy??
I am guessing it was the tractor trailers fault.
Alcohol ?
i mean how are so many vehicles involved.
ya what ever car was yellow looked as if it had been flying straight into a steel wall wtf
What ramp could they get on and turn the wrong way on… without it being PAINFULLY obvious?
If I had to guess I would say the Sheridan Exit coming from the 90—>290
EDIT: Colvin
HOW DO YOU HEAD WESTBOUND ON THE EASTBOUND LANES? you’d have to turn 180 degrees at the end of the ramp
No. You could be heading south on Harlem road (just south of Sheridan) and turn left onto the onramp. The exit ramp is right there also. Then you would be making a gradual left hand curve instead of a right hand curve.
You could also do this on Sheridan drive quite easily. Just be headed east on Sheridan just past Harlem, and turn right, onto the exit ramp (there is a light there).
This stuff is soooooo obvious to us that travel it everyday, but it’s really weird for out-of-towners, or drunk people.
yea… he said he got on at colvin… which would be impossible unless he drove in reverse past the seen of the accident and back tracked…
I bet they DID get on, at sheridan… that one makes the most sense.
EDIT… or millersport… if they were in the wrong lane there too.
Well if he was driving on the actual highway in the wrong lane, it isnt too hard to believe he turned onto the wrong ramp thinking its okay
My guess is and old senile person, they are worst than drunks.
it’s still closed… I saw the one car… Holy crap
it was real foggy out last night, i drove by the accident at about 4:45 it was crazy. could not see much but that one car that they keep saying was just destroyed and had to be the car going in the wrong direction
saw a pretty bad one on walden near the galleria last night. coming back from hockey at depew. looked like a newer intrepid or something, the whole front of the car was decimated
+2 for alcohol.
Heading out this AM, it was at the Colvin entrance. We had to get off, then back on. We saw one car that was covered. It looked like a Saturn Aura or a Honda Accord. It was crushed.
Sad. RIP
Drove by it this morning saw a car flipped, a unrecognizable car, and some other cars damaged pretty badly. The whole road was covered in pieces of cars all over
