Motorcyclist, E-Bicyclist Critically Injured in Niagara Falls Crash

Two men were hospitalized with serious injuries following a collision Monday night involving a motorcycle and an e-bike in Niagara Falls.

First responders were called around 9:50pm to Buffalo Avenue near 56th Street after reports of a crash. Police found the e-bicyclist down in the roadway west of the 56th Street intersection while the motorcyclist was discovered on the east side. The motorcycle itself slid with enough force to travel all the way to 57th Street.

According to police, the motorcyclist had been traveling east on Buffalo Avenue at a high rate of speed. A New York State trooper who was conducting an unrelated traffic stop observed the motorcycle as it sped past, moments before striking the e-bicyclist who was also heading along Buffalo Avenue.

Both riders were transported by ambulance to Erie County Medical Center with serious injuries.

The Niagara Falls Police Traffic Division is investigating the crash. No charges have been filed at this time, but that is subject to change.

We will provide updates if any become available.
