OWASCO - A retired state trooper and former restaurateur was hurt Wednesday night after his pickup truck hit two large rocks and overturned in a grassy field.
John Angyal, of the 3800 block of East Street in Skaneateles, was driving on Oakridge Road toward Melrose Road when he was apparently distracted by a bee buzzing inside his car. He told police he was swatting the bee when his car swerved off the road.
Eyewitness Josie Vozga saw Angyal's vehicle hit a large rock near a driveway.
"Then he went into the air, and hit that rock," Vozga said, pointing to a second stone on the opposite side of the driveway. "He came up just enough for me to see the bottom part of his truck. It sounded like he hit another car."
Angyal's truck then skidded across a lawn, into a grassy field, and flipped over.
By 11:15 p.m., the accident scene had been cleared. A few town employees remained at the site, combing it for the former trooper's badge, which he said flew out of the truck after it struck the stones.
Officers responding forced Angyal to keep talking, fearing he would lose consciousness. He sustained a gash on his neck, and multiple scratches, Vozga said.
He was in stable condition Wednesday night at Auburn Memorial Hospital, after spending much of the day in the emergency room.
Angyal once headed the state police water-rescue diving team. Last year he sold his restaurant, Angel's Heavenly Hamburgers in Skaneateles. He has also served as a supervisor and judge in that community.
He gained notoriety a few years ago when then-President Bill Clinton and his family vacationed Skaneateles.
Clinton' wife, Hillary, who was beginning her ultimately successful run for U.S. senator from New York, took some heat from Angyal's eatery. He listed two items on the sandwich board after Democrat and then-first lady Hillary Clinton -- the "Hillary Special, Mostly Baloney," a fried-bologna sandwich, and the other, the $4.95 "Hillary's Chicken Dinner: two small breasts, two left wings and two large thighs."
CLINTON BODY COUNT

LOL
When she makes her Presidential run in 2008 (2004?), the term "bee in your bonnet" will take on a new meaning.
As I read my own words I feel them weak and not very funny....but, damn, how I dislike that evil bi@ch!
Must be! MurryMom appears to be gone from FreeRepublic...
Priceless!
Well, coincidences sometimes do happen, a cigar is sometimes just a cigar, and the Clintons remain examples of the very lowest form of human life.
Is it really possible? After all the whining, the hit-and-run posting, the "Dumbya"s and "Repukie"s, is she really gone?
I mean, I was only half-joking. If you notice, I never pinged the Admin Moderator. I want to make that clear.
Do I get an award for this? Distinguished Medal of Free Republic with an Eagle Cluster?
Don't celebrate yet.
LOL!!!
I'll keep the screams of joy to a dull roar.
