The female driver of an SUV involved in Friday's crash with a tanker truck on Broadway and Elm St. has died from her injuries at ECMC, the Buffalo Police Department said.
The crash happened shortly before 11 a.m. on Friday.
Officials are not releasing the name of the deceased woman at this time, but say her family has been notified.
The tanker truck overturned in the collision and ended upside down into a tree across the sidewalk. The truck driver was left with non-life-threating injuries.
While the Buffalo Fire Department's Hazmat Team was called to the scene, first responders determined the tanker truck was carrying water. From the crash, the SUV had heavy front end and driver's side damage, while its rear end was against a traffic signal pole.
No injuries to pedestrians were reported.
The intersection of Broadway and Elm remained closed for several hours while crews safely removed the vehicles and debris.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story cited first responders at the scene who said injuries to both drivers were non-life-threatening. Later, a police spokesman updated the press to say the female driver had died from her injuries at ECMC.
