Calendar icon January 4, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

Three people were killed in a two-vehicle crash in Buffalo, at Genesee Street and Kilhoffer Street, just before 1 p.m. on December 28.

The Buffalo Police Captain Jeff Rinaldo said that two vehicles, a black minivan, and a white car crashed in a direct collision. Witnesses say that the minivan was going at an extremely high speed. 

The sixty-seven-year-old man who was operating the car and his eighteen-year-old female passenger in the back seat were killed at the scene. The driver of the van, a thirty-eight-year-old man from Niagara Falls, was also killed at the scene.

The police say the van was traveling roughly 80 miles per hour. The scene was horrific and will take some time for the police to reconstruct the crash. The toxicology result is pending and will determine what led to the two-vehicle crash in Buffalo and who was responsible for it. 

For now, the police haven’t released the identities of the victims. Although in the beginning, there was a rumor that there were children involved, the police denied this.

A sixty-one-year-old man was taken to ECMS for treatment after he was hit by debris. He is expected to be well.

Witnesses stated that they saw another man at the scene. Buffalo Police is searching the area, looking for any surveillance video of the accident. THey’re also asking witnesses to contact BPD’s confidential tipline, 716-847-2255, with information.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.
