A Williamsville man who survived what was initially reported as a "bad" crash in Darien on Friday was released from the hospital today.
Matthew D. Holt, 34, of Ellicott Street, Williamsville, managed to crawl from the wreckage of his mangled car after going off the road in the area of 1987 Chick Road at 6:44 p.m., Friday. Responders at the scene described his condition as not entirely coherent when they arrived, though he was walking.
Holt was taken to the Erie County Medical Center by Mercy Flight.
According to the Sheriff's Office report, Holt was westbound on Chick Road when his car drifted into the eastbound lane and then swerved back into the westbound lane. The 2001 Volvo sedan left the roadway on the north shoulder and sideswiped three trees, a rock pile, a shed and a fourth tree.
No cause of the accident is discussed in the report. The report lists no citations issued.
The accident was investigated by Deputy Cory Mower.
