The Buffalo Police Accident Investigation Unit is currently conducting an intensive probe into a fatal multi-vehicle collision that claimed a life late Thursday night on the Kensington Expressway. The incident, which disrupted traffic in the heart of Buffalo, marks another somber moment for the Western New York community.
