(Darien, NY, September 15, 2005) - - State police say a fatal accident went unnoticed for up to ten hours in Genesee County early Thursday.

Troopers say a Town of Darien resident spotted debris after collecting the morning mail shortly before noon Thursday.

The trail led to the wreckage of a Corvette that crashed into a tree, killing the 24-year-old driver, Michael J. Konfeberath of Darien, early Thursday morning.

No photos available. I saw this on the news today. You could barely see the car from the roadside. Just a steel rally wheel sticking up and some crunched up blue body panels. Definitely a C3. '68 to '77 vintage.

Really sad to see the loss of life and loss of a C3.

WOW....  Not good at all.   I'm surprised that the Darien resident spotted debris after collecting the morning mail shortly before noon Thursday didn't hear any noise outside the house!  Unless that person wasn't home. 

Very Sad.
