7 dead after Buffalo area hit by 'devastating' snowstorm, governor says

Seven people have died after a freezing blizzard with high winds struck the Buffalo, New York, area in a storm that the state’s governor has described as “devastating.”

Some of those who died were found in cars and others were on the street, said Mark Poloncarz, the executive of Erie County, where Buffalo is located.

“There may be more,” Poloncarz said at a briefing Sunday morning.

Six of the dead were in Buffalo, the city said. A driving ban was in effect in the city on Sunday.
