12/23/10 Greenwich man remains in critical condition following crash

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.

12/23/10 Greenwich seeks security cameras at Greenwich Plaza, other lots

The town's parking czar wants to install surveillance cameras in the Greenwich Plaza commuter garage, where police say vehicle thefts, break-ins and general security are legitimate concerns.

"Sure, the Plaza's had a lot of problems over the years," Police Chief David Ridberg said. "I can remember personally making some arrests there. They were stealing cars for a long time. "

From the beginning of 2007 through the end of 2009, five cars were stolen from the garage and an additional 16 were burglarized, according to the parking services department. The figure did not include acts of vandalism or general complaints about safety.

Allen Corry, the town's parking services director, is seeking budgetary approval to spend $36,000 on the installation of cameras and boxes housing the surveillance equipment.....
