STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 27-year-old driver remains in critical
condition with a fractured skull after he lost control of his car in
Arden Heights early this morning.
The crash happened at about 5:15 a.m., on Arthur Kill Road, near
the Arden Avenue intersection.
Police sources say Conrado Dilag, 27, a student at the College of
Staten Island, was driving along Arthur Kill Road when he took a
bend too fast.
He lost control of his Acura and went off the road, plowing through
a fence and crashing into a tractor trailer parked in a lot, those
sources say.
