1 hospitalized after dump truck and tractor-trailer collide in Niagara County
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A driver was hospitalized Friday after a two-vehicle crash involving a dump truck and tractor-trailer in Pendleton, the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office announced.
Deputies said they responded around 10 a.m. to the intersection of Campbell Boulevard and Lockport Road, where a dump truck was seen leaning on its side against a tractor-trailer while both vehicles leaked fluids. The driver of the dump truck was trapped inside the vehicle as a result of the crash.
The dump truck driver was eventually extricated and transported to a local hospital for injuries, according to deputies.
Deputies said an initial investigation showed the driver of the tractor-trailer allegedly failed to yield the right of way to the dump truck at the intersection. The tractor-trailer driver was issued five traffic tickets in relation to the collision.
The intersection was closed for around four hours Friday but has since reopened.
