A University student, injured in a car accident which killed two other students Feb. 4, was released Friday from Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, a hospital spokeswoman said. Another injured student remains hospitalized.

Elaine Stanek, 19, of Endicott, N.Y. was released to her parents and will recuperate at home, the spokeswoman said.

Another student, Maria Sincavage, also of Endicott, remains in Packer Hospital in serious condition. Sincavage's condition has been improving daily, the hospital reports.

Elizabeth Munley of Endwell, N.Y. and John Scott, 19, also of Endicott were pronounced dead on arrival at Packer Hospital, state police at Towanda said. The two were sitting in the back seat and were not wearing seatbelts, police said. Scott was reportedly thrown from the car.

The local fire department had to cut the car apart to free the other students.

The group was returning from a Billy Joel concert in Endicott on Route 220 when Stanek, who was driving, lost control of the car as it hit a patch of snow, police said.

The car, traveling south, crossed into the northbound lane and hit a vehicle driven by Morris Lane, 59, of Athens, N.Y.

A hospital spokeswoman would not elaborate on the extent of the students' injuries. However, James Stanek, Elaine Stanek's father, said Elaine suffered five broken ribs, a partially collapsed lung and other injuries.

"This is going to be the most difficult thing to overcome," he said, adding that he does not know when Elaine will return to the University.

"We're just taking it one step at a time," he said.

Stanek and Sincavage are roommates in 218 Atherton Hall.

James Stanek said that Sincavage remains in an unconscious state but is gradually waking up. He said the condition is not a coma and that Sincavage can respond to voices.
