Nobody found in car in rollover on Thruway

By Howard B. Owens

Emergency crews responded to a report of a rollover accident on the Thruway and when they got there, there was nobody in the car and nobody around, but the car was on its roof.

Meanwhile, a semi-truck on Route 33 is reportedly "driving people" off the road. He happens to be heading toward a roadblock set up earlier this evening because of a jack-knifed truck near Seven Springs Road.

Also, inmate trustees are clearing Porter Road so law enforcement has access to the jail.

There continue to be reports of accidents, cars and trucks stuck in various locations.

UPDATE 6:08 p.m.: Route 33 is open.

UPDATE 6:13: Route 19 is open.

Actually, I saw this accident on my way home from Buffalo - my boyfriend and I called 911 and the dispatcher said the women was safe inside the other car involved in the accident, looked really bad though!

MAYBE they heard that after getting stranded on the thruway all nite and having to share a cookie between two then once able to be lead off the thruway just to sit in an hour line of traffic cause the thruway thought it would be nice to open up the toll booths when all these cars were freed so they could pay a toll,they decided to walk off.REPORTED TODAY ON NEWS 4 BUFFALO AT NOON...

Scott, huh? That has got to be the longest run-on sentence ever. I really didn't understand most of it. You think people walked off the thruway so they wouldn't have to pay a toll? I don't understand.
