Bills fan killed in hit-and-run incident during ‘Monday Night Football’ loss

Two football fans were struck by cars in separate incidents outside Highmark Stadium on Monday, New York State law enforcement officials said, killing a 65-year-old man and seriously injuring a 36-year-old.

The 65-year-old man died from his injuries after emergency services tried to save his life just before 8:20 p.m. ET.

He was a resident of Rochester, New York, and was struck near Stadium Drive in Orchard Park, a suburb of Buffalo.

No suspects are in custody at this time, but New York State Police and Buffalo Police later found a vehicle believed to be involved.

The second man, who was also not identified by police, was hit by a car in a freak accident that authorities say was the pedestrian’s fault.

Police received a call around 10 p.m. ET about a mile from Highmark Stadium at the intersection of Abbott and Milestrip Roads.

Authorities said the man crossed the road into the right-of-way,

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement after the crash.

The roads were closed for an extended period of time but reopened shortly before the end of the Bills’ heartbreaking loss to the Broncos.

Fans were able to exit the stadium with little difficulty, an area known to provide its fans in the past with unpredictable snow patterns.

During the game, a fight broke out between Bills fans with beer being thrown and punches flying in the 314 section.

None of the fans in the fight had been identified as of Tuesday morning.
