BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Police Department said a 77-year-old Buffalo man, identified as Arthur Rush, died Monday afternoon after a crash.
The crash happened just before 2 p.m. at Seneca Street near Elk Street.
Buffalo Police accident investigators said a Chevrolet Corvette was traveling westbound on Seneca when the driver apparently lost control of his vehicle and struck another vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Seneca Street.
Investigators said the man driving the Corvette was ejected from the vehicle and the vehicle burst into flames.
Rush was declared dead at the scene, police said. A female passenger was in the vehicle but was not injured and police said witnesses that were near the scene helped pull her from the car.
Police are investigating if speed played a factor.
