CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Niagara Falls man is facing a felony charge, accused of seriously injuring a Williamsville man in a hit-and-run outside the Buffalo airport.

According to the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority, officers arrested 50-year-old Travis Rosario for the February 27 crash. Rosario is charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

Late last month, investigators said a 44-year-old was hit early in the morning at the entrance to the airport. The man was taken to ECMC with serious injuries. The NFTA say the victim has since been released from the hospital but continues to receive treatment at a rehabilitation facility.

Rosario was arraigned in Cheektowaga court on March 28. He is scheduled to return on June 7 for further proceedings and was released on his own recognizance as the charge is a non-qualifying offense for bail.
