Two Genesee County men remain hospitalized in serious condition following separate accidents over the weekend.
Both men were charged with DWI.
Ace J. Morz, 42, of Corfu, was taken by Mercy Flight to ECMC on Sunday (his birthday) following an accident around 9:45 p.m. on Genesee Street, near the county line, in Darien.
Morz reportedly crossed over into oncoming traffic. He apparently tried to swerve to avoid a tractor-trailer heading west when his SUV was struck by the truck, according to Rebecca Gibbons, public information officer for the State Police in Batavia. (initial report)
The driver of the truck, George Hall, 55, of Kingsley, was not injured in the crash.
On Saturday, around 9:15 p.m., Kevin M. Hermann, 21, was reportedly driving on Route 63 when he attempted to make a left-hand turn onto Little Canada Extension. Gibbons said that the State Police investigation indicates he was driving too fast when his car went into the turn. His car traveled off the far side of the road and flipped over several times.
Hermann, of Batavia, was ejected from the vehicle.
Gibbons did not know if he was wearing a safety belt.
He is listed in guarded condition, which means he's in ICU, at Strong Memorial Hospital.
There were other passengers in the car, but the available report did not list how many or who. There were no other people reported injured.
The investigation into both accidents is ongoing and additional citations may be issued.
