Buffalo Family Grieves Woman Killed in Skyway Crash

A collision on Buffalo’s Skyway has left a local family in mourning after 28-year-old Shabrina Grant lost her life in a crash caused by a wrong-way driver. The accident occurred in the evening hours of June 5th.

Authorities reported the crash happened around 11:30pm on the inbound side of the Skyway. Investigators believe a vehicle, traveling at a high speed in the wrong direction, slammed head-on into another car. Grant, riding as a passenger in the vehicle that caused the crash, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other individuals were seriously injured. The driver of the vehicle Grant was in, a 27-year-old man from Lackawanna, remains hospitalized, as does a 46-year-old woman who was behind the wheel of the vehicle that was struck. Police have not yet released any updates regarding potential charges or the full circumstances surrounding the collision.

Shabrina Grant was known among friends and family for her warm personality, fashion sense, and dedication to her work. She was employed as a certified nursing assistant at Elderwood in Williamsville where she helped care for elderly patients with compassion and professionalism.

In addition to her career, Grant was a devoted mother to her 5-year-old son, Jae’vion, who has autism. With her sudden passing, her siblings are preparing to take on the responsibility of raising him, hoping to provide the same love and care Grant always gave.

Her death adds to a string of hardships faced by her family over the years. In 2008, one of her younger sisters was the victim of a homicide and in 2021, the family lost their matriarch to COVID-19. The cumulative grief has been profound.

Plans are underway to lay Grant to rest in Tennessee where she will be buried beside her mother.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends and loved ones.
