BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Police say Patrick Stack, 35, of Williamsville was behind the wheel of a Jeep going the wrong way on the inbound Kensington Expressway (33) early Saturday morning.
Buffalo police deputy commissioner Joseph Gramaglia, said: "our investigators believe it's possible he got on right in the downtown core."
He said there were several 911 calls about a driver speeding and going the wrong way. He was headed eastbound in the westbound lanes.
A 54-year-old female driving a Honda Pilot suffered multiple injuries and miraculously survived. The Getzville woman was treated at ECMC.
The accident happened around 1 a.m. near the Suffolk Street exit.
Two police officers who were at the scene directing traffic were hit by another vehicle near the Suffolk Street off-ramp. They were inside their patrol car when they were hit. They were also taken to ECMC for treatment but are expected to be okay.
Both crashes are under investigation.
All westbound lanes were closed until 7:15 a.m.
