Town of Tonawanda Police say 37-year-old Jamie LaChance was killed in a rollover accident that shut down a portion of the I-290 East for about three hours Tuesday. Police say LaChance was driving near the Elmwood exit around 3 PM when he lost control of his car, crossing all lanes of traffic. They say his car went into the median and likely rolled several times before coming to a stop. LaChance was thrown from his car and died at the scene. Investigators had to close down a lane as they conducted their investigation, causing backups along the I-290 East well into rush hour.
