A Niagara Falls, N.Y., woman has died as a result of injuries suffered in a car crash at the intersection of Route 59 and U.S. Route 219 on Labor Day.
Hannah Laisola, 32, died later that same day, Sept. 5, at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, N.Y., where she and her husband, Henri, were flown following the crash.
Lewis Run-based state police said a vehicle driven by Henri Laisola was traveling west on Route 59 at the intersection with Route 219 when his vehicle failed to stop at the posted stop sign. His vehicle entered the intersection and hit a van, driven south on Route 219 by Talal Ahmed, 40, of Sterling, Va., who was traveling with one adult passenger and three children passengers, under the age of six. As a result of the impact, the van struck a concrete wall located off the roadway on private property before coming to a final rest.
Both Henri and Hannah Laisola were flown from the scene by medical helicopter to ECMC in Buffalo.
On Tuesday, District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer and Lewis Run-based state police said the investigation remains ongoing. Neither commented on whether charges are being considered in the case.
On the day of the crash, state police were assisted on the scene by PSP Forensics Services Unit, PSP Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Specialist, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Jay Bradish Photography, Lafayette Township Fire/Rescue, Bradford City Fire Department, Mount Jewett Ambulance, Kane Ambulance, Priority Care and Donovan’s Towing.
