Janesville man hospitalized after his car hits a tree
JANESVILLE—A Janesville man was hospitalized after the car he was driving hit a tree head-on Tuesday night.
Daniel White, 22, of 2435 Woodlane Drive Apt. No. 2, Janesville, was driving his Pontiac Grand Am east on Milwaukee Street at 11 p.m. when he lost control and hit a tree head on at Somerset Court, according to police.
White was extricated from his vehicle by Janesville firefighters and transported to Mercy Hospital by a fire department ambulance, said a fire department shift commander.
Driving too fast for road conditions appears to be a factor in the accident, according to police.

ok im so sick of people degrading daniel... hes a great guy i have known him for a few years...yes what he did is wrong, but hes paying the ultimate sacrafice right know by fighting for his life...and the reason why his family and friends arent posting stuff and sticking up for him is because the family didnt want his condition to get out to the public...and they are all by his side hopeing and praying to god for him to wake up...im so sick of people putting him down...yeah i know what he did was wrong, but hes fighting for his life now, and he has a beautiful little girl that is waiting for him to get better because she misses her daddy...you guys dont know how hard it is to tell a little 3 yr old that she cant see her daddy right know because hes so sick...and to see her cry because she misses her daddy so much...how do you explain stuff to her...all i can say is thank god shes not old enough to read some of your postings on here...because if she was not only would she have her daddy on her mind hoping and praying for him to get better, but she would also have to defend all of the rude comments you guys are saying...all i have left to say is if you cant say something nice then please dont say anything, he didnt hurt anyone and i know he will learn his lesson...right know all the famiy needs is everyones prayers and thoughts for him to recover...if you cant do that then please keep your rude comments to yourself!!

The think about spelling and grammar....a lot of the people who don't do well in those areas tend to be judgmental of other peoples' posts, and even call them stupid.
I find that hypocritical.

noone needs to defend this kid that got into the accident as he does both the alcohol and the pot thing so i am guessing the combo of both makes a great cocktail for disaster

minihowie, as the Gazette fails to make this clear, many remain confused. The Latest News blog is used for breaking news briefs, and may or may not be updated/corrected for the print edition. The version you see under Local News is usually the story as filed for the day's print edition.
