A Lackawanna man was sentenced Thursday to 4 to 12 years in prison after driving the wrong way on the Skyway and causing a fatal crash in June 2025. The Erie County District Attorney's office prosecuted the case, which resulted in the sentencing of the Lackawanna man. The crash occurred on the Skyway, a major highway in Buffalo, and resulted in a fatality.
The Lackawanna man's actions were deemed reckless and negligent, leading to the fatal outcome. The sentencing of the Lackawanna man serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of reckless driving. Buffalo residents, particularly those who commute on the Skyway, are affected by this incident and must be aware of the importance of safe driving practices. The Erie County District Attorney's office will continue to prosecute cases like this to ensure public safety.
The next step in this case is for the Lackawanna man to serve his sentence, and for Buffalo residents to remain vigilant on the roads.
