Two construction workers were transported to ECMC, with one airlifted by Mercy Flight, after a car collided with a water tanker truck on State Road in Royalton on Thursday.
The Niagara County Sheriff’s Office reported that a sedan heading west veered off the road and hit the parked, unoccupied water tanker on the shoulder.
After hitting the truck, the car then struck a construction worker who was sitting in the grass nearby.
The sedan continued on and collided with another parked truck, causing a second construction worker to fall onto the floorboard of the trailer before the vehicle came to a stop.
Police reported that the driver of the car was uninjured. However, both workers injured in the crash received treatment for neck and back pain.
Officials are continuing their investigation into the incident.
