BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The New York State Thruway Authority announced Thursday afternoon that all lanes were blocked on I-90 west at Exit 57A (Eden/Angola) due to a multi-vehicle crash.
Just before 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, New York State police said troopers were responding to several incidents near exit 57A. Police said one incident involved two tractor-trailers, another involved five passenger vehicles, and a third involved a tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle.
Police said two people were transported to local hospitals with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries. Traffic was being diverted off the Thruway at exit 57 (Hamburg). The I-90 west has since reopened.
Winter weather also caused a big crash on I-81 near Syracuse. Police said a total of 37 vehicles were involved in that crash and eight people were transported to local hospitals. Of the eight, police said two had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
