    Town of Denmark, NY-  A one-vehicle crash on Route 26 this morning in the
    Town of Denmark resulted in serious injuries to a Bronx, NY man, according to
    the Lewis County Sheriff's Office.

    Investigator Ed Amelio told linkinglewiscounty.com that Esteban Santos, 29, was
    travelling northbound on Route 26 shortly after 6:30 this morning, en route to
    Fort Drum, when he exited the roadway near Johnson's Lumber.

    According to a witness, who was behind the vehicle, it appeared Mr. Santos was
    attempting to pass the vehicle in front of him, with an oncoming tractor trailer in
    the opposite lane. Mr. Santos then exited the west side of the roadway, driving
    through a lawn before crashing into a tree, Investigator Amelio said. The Sheriff's
    Office would like to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the accident as
    the investigation continues.

    Fires crews from West Carthage, Carthage and Copenhagen responded to the
    scene, along with Lewis County Search & Rescue, Carthage Ambulance and the
    Sheriff's Office. Investigator Amelio said it took 43 minutes and two sets of the
    Jaws of Life to extricate Mr. Santos from his vehicle.

    Mr. Santos was airlifted to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse, by LifeNet
    helicopter, with serious injuries. Investigator Amelio said he has two broken legs,
    two broken arms and a ruptured liver.

    A portion of Route 26 was shut down for a time so the helicopter could land in
    the roadway.

    If anyone witnessed the accident this morning, they are asked to contact the
    Lewis County Sheriff's Office at 315-376-3511.
