Niagara man killed in a single-vehicle crash

First Published:

A 51-year-old Niagara Falls man is dead after a single-vehicle crash Tuesday morning.

The grey Kia ended up with both of its passenger side wheels up on the side of a motel on Leader Lane near Terrace Avenue in Niagara Falls.

One man says the collision was captured on surveillance footage. He says the vehicle went airborne and then rolled several times before landing on the motel wall.

It happened around 7 a.m., the only person in the car was the driver. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Niagara police say it appears the driver lost control on the roadway at the top of a hill, struck a tree and the vehicle rolled down until it stopped against the building.

Police wouldn’t say if any factors such as speed, impairment or medical distress are being considered as potential causes for the crash.

The investigation is ongoing.
