Winters told police that before the accident, he had been on his way to an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting. He said he last remembered passing the town police station on Route 7, before waking up with his airbag inflated, realizing he had just had an accident.
A little more than an hour after the hit and run, the driver, Dylan Winters of Canaan, Conn., turned himself in. He walked into the Great Barrington Police Station, and told police he left his car at the Sheffield Pottery.
