Dump Truck Accident On Niagara Street in Niagara Falls Injures Two

Charges are pending after an accident on the 2700 block of Niagara Street on Wednesday afternoon. A Niagara Falls Crash Management Team said a dump truck carrying construction debris swerved to avoid a vehicle turning at 27th Street. In the process, the dump truck driver lost control of the vehicle and it flipped on its side, officials said.

The 40-year-old driver was partially ejected from the dump truck, and extricated by Niagara Falls firefighters. Officials say the passenger, a 44-year-old man, was able to get out of the truck himself, and was transported to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center for injuries, including shoulder pain.
