MOHAWK, N.Y., August 4 - State police say excessive speed contributed to a 
one-car crash that seriously injured a 53-year-old Fulton County man.

     The accident happened shortly before 3:00 Saturday afternoon in the 
town of Mohawk, in Herkimer County.  Police say William Houtz of Johnstown 
lost control of his vehicle, leaving 171 feet of skid marks on the pavement 
before crossing another road. The car traveled another 89 feet before 
striking a guidewire.
     The car then became airborne, flew 168 feet, and struck a utility pole 
about 12 feet above the ground. The pole was snapped and the vehicle 
cartwheeled more than 100 feet further before landing about two feet from a 
house.
     Houtz was airlifted to Albany Medical Center where he was listed Sunday 
in critical condition.
