Buffalo, NY (July 27, 2025) – On Sunday afternoon, a motorcyclist sustained serious injuries in a crash at the intersection of Ludington Street and Bailey Avenue on Buffalo’s east side. The collision involved the motorcycle and at least one other vehicle, prompting a rapid response from police, fire, and EMS personnel.
Responding paramedics provided immediate medical care to the injured rider at the scene before transporting them to a local hospital for further treatment. While the rider’s official condition has not been released, their injuries were described as serious. The motorcycle sustained significant damage in the impact.
The intersection was temporarily closed to allow authorities to investigate the incident and clear debris from the roadway, causing traffic to be rerouted in the area. According to reports, the driver of the other vehicle involved remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
An official investigation into the cause of the crash is now underway. Law enforcement is reviewing factors such as whether speed or a failure to yield contributed to the collision. No citations or arrests have been announced at this time.

Motorcycle Accidents in New York
Motorcycle crashes occur frequently across Upstate New York, particularly on high-risk corridors like Route 20, Interstate 81, and Erie Boulevard. Here, fast traffic and limited visibility create constant peril for riders. Without the protection of a vehicle frame, even minor collisions often lead to severe outcomes. Other drivers frequently fail to check their blind spots, ignore motorcycles at intersections, or make sudden lane changes, which can lead directly to crashes. Riders often experience road rash, broken bones, or head injuries, even when wearing proper safety gear.
After a motorcycle accident, your safety demands immediate attention. Seek medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries. You must also thoroughly document the scene and file an official report. Swift action protects your future and your claim.
