The crash was reported at approximately 6:30 AM, during the early morning rush hour, a time when many commuters are making their way to work. This section of the I-190 is a vital corridor for those traveling through the Buffalo, New York area, providing a key route for both local and through traffic. The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of urban and suburban environments, with Elm Street and Oak Street serving as important local thoroughfares that connect various neighborhoods and business districts.

The Niagara Thruway is a crucial part of the New York State Thruway system, facilitating travel between the Canadian border and the greater Buffalo region. As such, any disruption on this route can have widespread implications for traffic patterns in the area.
