GUILDERLAND — A car accident on Camp Terrace left one man in the hospital and another in police custody.

At 4:08 on Saturday morning, Guilderland Police responded to a call for an injured man lying in the roadway. When police arrived on the scene, they determined that 18-year-old Tyler Dickson of 32 Haynes St. in Guilderland had been lying in the middle of the road when another 18-year-old, Joshua J. Gray of 1 Camp Terrace, ran over him with his 2004 Ford.
"Dickson was lying in the roadway, while Gray was traveling southbound," almost to his home on Camp Terrace, Lieutenant Curtis Cox of the Guilderland Police said. "Gray tried to apply the brakes but did not stop in time."
Gray struck Dickson and pushed him several feet with his vehicle, and then "proceeded to drive around to his driveway," Cox told The Enterprise.

Police arrested Gray at the scene, said Cox, and charged him driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and then later charged him with second-degree vehicle assault, a class E felony, and more charges may be pending.

Gray failed a field-sobriety test, according to a police report, but the results of his chemical blood test have not come back, said Cox.

Cox said he did not know why Dickson was lying in the road.

Dickson was transported to the Albany Medical Center Hospital with injuries to his chest and head, consisting of several rib fractures, said police. He has since been released from the hospital, according to Albany Medical Center.

Gray has not been charged with hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident, said Cox, but added that the case was still under investigation by Guilderland Police.
