New York State police have ruled unsafe speed the cause of a motorcycle crash in Niagara Falls.

The crash happened late Monday night on LaSalle Expressway, near 77th Street.  Pictures from the scene were shot by Rob Bennett.

Police say two men, from Niagara falls, were riding separate motorcycles when one ran into the back of the other.

One of the drivers "went down," police say.  That driver has possible broken bones and internal injuries.

Mercy Flight flew that man to Erie County Medical Center.

ECMC reports the driver is in stable condition.  His injuries are said not to be life threatening.

No charges have been filed in this case.

It's unclear if the driver of the other motorcycle was hurt.

Neither driver has been identified.
