At least one person was killed and another seriously injured in a multi-car pileup involving more than two dozen vehicles on the New York State Thruway near Buffalo, authorities said. Weather was a contributing factor in the accident, which involved between 15 and 25 cars and 10 tractor-trailers on the eastbound lane of Interstate 90 near Exit 49, New York State Police Public Information Officer Michael Cassella told ABC News. The injured patient was transported to a local hospital, Erie County’s Executive Mark Poloncarz wrote on Twitter. Others had to be extracted from their vehicles, Poloncarz said.
