A Greenwich man remains in critical condition in a New York hospital following a one-car accident late Wednesday afternoon.
Antonio Hernandez, 21, is in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., said hospital spokesman David Billig Thursday afternoon.
Hernandez was the passenger in a 1997 Honda Odyssey minivan driven by his brother Manuel Gonzales, 19, also of Greenwich.
The eastbound van slammed into a large stone wall at 124 Ritch Ave., in Byram just before 5 p.m. after Gonzales lost control, police said.
The van's front right passenger side sustained serious damage, forcing fire fighters to use the Jaws of Life to extricate Hernandez.
Gonzales suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Greenwich Emergency Medical Service transported both men to the Westchester Medical Center. While enroute Hernandez received advanced life support from paramedics, police said.
The investigation is ongoing, said police spokesman Lt. Kraig Gray. The serious crash investigation team is leading the investigation. No charges have been laid, Gray said.
