AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) — Three people are dead as the result of a late-night crash on Millersport Highway.
Amherst police say the one-vehicle crash occurred around 11:20 p.m. near John James Audubon Parkway.
The car, identified as a 2018 Dodge sedan, was being driven by an 18-year-old woman. Police say it left the roadway before overturning onto its roof.
The driver and a 17-year-old Cheektowaga male in the front seat were taken to ECMC to be treated for their injuries, which do not appear to be life-threatening. The three others were pronounced dead at the scene after being found outside of the vehicle.
Those who died were identified as:
-Dakota Eldridge, 20, of Cheektowaga
-Isabella French, 19, of Buffalo
-Azathiel Pabon, 18, of Buffalo
It’s not clear whether or not they were wearing seat belts when the crash occurred. Police say they were not University at Buffalo students.
Captain Kevin Brown with the Amherst Police Department also said that as of Tuesday morning, no charges were pending, but there’s still more investigation to do.
