Synopsis
CRJ-900 flight crew reported hydraulic failure and continued to their destination for a safe landing.
Narrative
When operating flight ABCD from ZZZ1 to ZZZ; about midway through the flight we got a HYD 3 LO PRESS caution message followed by IB GND SPLRS caution message. We ran the QRH which said to turn 3B pump on which we did and pressure went up to 1400psi then went back to 0psi. HYD page showed 0 quantity. At that point we contacted Dispatch; told them what happened and asked them if they still wanted me to continue to ZZZ to which they said yes continue. I also asked them for tow at the airport as I would not be able to steer. I told the Flight Attendant and the passenger of the situation and continued to ZZZ. We informed Center of the situation and they said they would have to give me priority handling for that or if I wanted to request so I told them I will request priority handling; gave them fuel and souls on board and requested the longest runway at ZZZ which is XXR. We then did our prior to landing part of ORH about 15-20miles from the airport and landed on XXR safely then got towed to the gate.Cause: Hydraulic 3 fluid leak
Second reporter narrative
Received HYD 3 LO PRESS EICAS caution during cruise. We ran the QRH; confirmed that HYD 3 had 0% and pressure had dropped to 0 also. Consulted with Operations/Dispatch of whether or divert to ZZZ2 or continue to ZZZ. We had Dispatch make ZZZ Ops aware that we would need a tug to get off of the runway after stopping. Decided continuation to ZZZ would be safe and appropriate so we continued; we requested priority handling with ZZZ Center to get the longest runway (XXR) which also wasn't being used for arrivals/departures. Continued running the QRH for before landing items (ground prox flap override; gear handle; emer gear extension). Landed uneventfully on XXR and came to a stop. Fire command came out to inspect and provide any assistance. None was needed and we eventually were towed to the gate where we preformed normal shutdown procedures. Upon post flight walk around I noticed some fluid leaking from a panel between the MLG. The Captain and I made Maintenance Control aware and she completed the write-ups in the logbook. Cause: Hydraulic 3 system lost pressure in flight. Unknown if there was a leak or what caused it.
