Less than 24 hours after a collision between three Cutters riders and a Honda Accord on Ind. 446, senior Zach Lusk confirmed that his teammates are doing well.
Freshman Eric Brodell, who hit the car head on and then flipped over the hood, received the worst injuries. His first surgery at Bloomington Hospital is complete. Brodell is reported to be in good spirits.
"Surgery went well," Lusk said. "There was just a lot of debris and blood loss during surgery so they're going to do another surgery on Friday morning to go back in and clean it out a little bit more to reduce the risk of infection. They're going to wait until the swelling goes down from that and he needs reconstructive surgery on his MCL."
Senior Eric Young and junior Michael Schroeder were both released from Bloomington Hospital last night. Lusk said the team is communicating through e-mails to stay informed.
Young and Schroeder both awoke to soreness, Lusk said. Schroeder's ankle and Young's elbow are both swollen. Lusk said Young's ankles even began to swell last night.
"They're alright," Lusk said. "Just going to take some time off and heal up. And make sure everything is in line and go from there"
